Lyrics Benjamin Clementine – Adios

Adios
Adios
Adios to your afternoon
Cause tonight I will be forever

Adios
Adios
I am sorry for quickly jumping into the train
I waited but no one came
You’re just too late

That decision is mine
That decision is mine
So let the lesson be mine
Let the lesson be mine
That decision is mine
That decision is mine
Cause that vision is mine
That vision is mine

Adios
Yes, goodbye, adios
Adios to the little child in me
Who kept on blaming everyone else
Instead of facing his own defeat in Edmonton
After all, I should have no regrets
For if it wasn’t for my mistakes I made yesterday
Where would I be by now?

That decision was mine
That decision was mine
So let the lesson be mine

Yes, I’ve taken my bags and I’m going down service street, taking a train I know very well, and angels, they come in and go
You know last time when that angel had been in, you know, she left, and I don’t know other things about angels anyway
You know, sometimes, uh, you think that you know more than you know, but then you actually don’t understand
Anyways when they come to me, they sing to me so beautifully
If I can recall their melodies, it goes, excuse me to take your time, but it goes something, something like this:

Interlude

Lest the trees cease breathing
Lest the bees cease breeding
And all the salts in the Dead Sea ferments to honey

Until then, I’ll be forever
Chasing, chasing, chasing it all till the very end

That decision is mine
Let the lesson be mine
Cause that vision is mine
That decision is mine
Let the lesson be mine
Cause that vision is mine
