Fifty Five Falls Lyrics - Ballads Of Living And Dying - 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 

'T was 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
