Katzenjammer - Virginia Clemm lyrics

rate me

He was a child I was a child<br />

Sentimental and wild<br />

Now we're resting<br />

Now we're resting<br />

For twelve short years<br />

We lived out of health<br />

And of prosperous wealth<br />

Oh my dearest<br />

Oh my dearest<br />

My only portrait to remind you<br />

My wine on your old cloak<br />

My voice sustained in our piano<br />

Comme les carillons<br />

De notre nuit de noces<br />

Heir of my illness writer<br />

Of all the stories and the words<br />

That I'm haunting<br />

That I'm haunting<br />

When your heart is on your sleeve<br />

Then I'll bid you my sweet adieu<br />

Don't forget me<br />

Don't forget me<br />

The other woman to explain<br />

Her letters I deplore<br />

I'm the flare inside your sorry dark eyes<br />

And I'll leave you nevermore
