Marissa Nadler Fifty Five Falls
I say to the day
We'll drop down to die
With fifty five falls
And seventy skies
And I say to the day
Weigh this bag that I brang
With Mayflower May and a monocle dime
Oh, there she lies
Gently close her eyes
Oh, there she lies
Gently close her eyes
Oh, down she lies
Oh, I had a friend
That I remember well
With sad little hands
A sad [sickle cell?]
Oh, I had a friend
The ship sailed away
'Twas fifty five falls
Of golden to stay
Oh, there she lies
Gently close her eyes
Oh, there she lies
Gently close her eyes
Oh, down she lies
I said to the day
We'll drop down to die
With fifty five falls
And seventy skies
And I say to the day
Weigh this bag that I brang
With Mayflower May and monocle dime
Oh, and she dies
Slowly close her eyes
Oh, there she lies
Gently close her eyes
Oh, down she lies
