• Dear my love
    Didn’t you want to be with me?
    I waited so long for this day
    When our vows would be declared
    And the world would see
    That we can make it
    That we can be free

    You were so beautiful
    In your dress of white
    Like a field of lilies
    Sewn together, just for you
    And my darkened world
    Light up by your smile

    So my dear
    Confess to me
    Why didn’t you say
    That you would go away?

    You’d never shed a tear
    Did you think I wouldn’t care?

    On that day
    Your heart had failed you
    I had failed you too
    I couldn’t protect you
    From what may kill you

    My sweet Clementine
    Where are you now?
    I cannot hear your screams
    As you lay silent before me

    The fires flare up around you
    They singe your hair
    And blacken your dress
    Your beautiful white dress

    My blushing bride
    I could not save you
    But wait for me
    So that we may say
    “I do”
