Lyrics Marissa Nadler

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
