Peel of Clementine Lyrics

Visions of summer — Lake Odessa

Afloat in the pallid tide

Swam to the shore, refreshed our glasses

And stared at the other side

A peel of clementine

Twirled through gin and streaks of ice

Watched the horizon line

I was out of my mind

Visions of somewhere unrelated

At your place on Riverside

Fitting the framework, learned to savor

Everything all in stride

A peel of clementine

Pressed between your lips when you smiled

It got me every time

You were out of your mind

Visions of something spent together

Of starting another life

Secretly wed beneath the cypress

Danced in the autumn night

A peel of clementine

Boutonniere'd by a sprig of thyme

We barely had a dime

We were out of our minds

Now blowing dandelions

Ballerinas of dust in the sky

Wishing for more time

To be out our minds

Visions of some minute detail

I overlooked at the time
