Fifty Five Falls

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I say to the day Why you drop down to die With fifty-five falls and seventy skies? And I say to the day Why this ballad of brine With Mayflower May and a monocled eye? [Chorus] Oh, where she lies Gently close her eyes Oh, where she lies Gently close her eyes Oh, damn July [Verse 2] Oh, I had a friend and I remember her well With sad little hands and a sad, sickled cell Oh, I had a friend but her ship sailed away 'Twas fifty-five falls ago to this day [Chorus] Oh, where she lies Gently close her eyes Oh, where she lies Gently close her eyes Oh, damn July [Verse 3] I say to the day Why you drop down to die With fifty-five falls and seventy skies? I say to the day Play this ballad of brine With Mayflower May and a monocled eye [Chorus] Oh, when she dies Slowly close her eyes Oh, where she lies Gently close her eyes Oh, damn July
