[Verse 1]
The red Chinese curtains of our hotel room
Were cold and silken
And I traced patterns on your thighs
With my fingertips, crushed peach and linen

[Pre-Chorus]
And it would make me all
Kinds of happy
If we had a little place of our own
With lilies outside and the sun's yellow moan

[Chorus]
Tell my sweet, sweet Clementina
I love none other than she
And when the dawn breaks I'll be near her
Curled like an apostrophe

[Refrain]
Morning come soon
Morning come soon

[Verse 2]
I wore a powder-blue suit on New Year's Day
And you said you felt at peace
In a late night laundromat on Fountain Street
Humming tunes with Nirvana
[Pre-Chorus]
And it would make me all
Kinds of happy
To kiss the warmth and shadow of your collarbone

[Chorus]
Tell my sweet, sweet Clementina
I love none other than she
And when the dawn breaks I'll be near her
Curled like an apostrophe

[Refrain]
Morning come soon
Morning come soon
Chase that old moon
Morning come soon

[Outro]
Morning come soon
Morning come soon
Chase that old moon
Morning come soon
Morning come soon
Morning come soon
Chase that old moon
Morning come soon
