Sixteen Down

Sunshine stealing stage time

From the moon and stars above

She said leave me alone

I said take me home

Sixteen down living in the hallowed ground

Now the blue has turned to red

All but given up for dead

Ooh, Madeline -- Madeline Breathe

(Can't breathe)

Skiff rocked like a cradle

And the poor girl fell overboard

Rope wrapped around her neck

Tangled in her hair soaked wet

They dragged the stream

The body never to be found

Now the blue has turned to read

All but given up for dead

Ohh, Madeline -- Madeline breathe

(Can't breathe)

My life, made the headlines

Beneath the waterlily sky

She said leave me alone

I said take me home

Sixteen down living in the hallowed ground

Now the blue has turned to

All but given up for dead

Madeline -- Madeline Breathe...
