Fifty Five Falls

Marissa Nadler

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
