We Both Go Down Together

Here on these cliffs of Dover

So high you can't see over

& while your head is spinning

Hold tight, it's just beginning

You come from parents wanton

A childhood rough & rotten

I come from wealth & beauty

Untouched by work or duty

& oh, my love, my love

& oh, my love, my love

We both go down together

I found you, a tattooed tramp

A dirty daughter from the labor camps

I laid you down on the grass of a clearing

You wept, but your soul was willing

& oh, my love, my love

& oh, my love, my love

We both go down together

& my parents will never consent to this love

But I hold your hand

Meet me on my vast veranda

My sweet, untouched Miranda

& while the seagulls are crying

We fall, but our souls are flying

& oh, my love, my love

& oh, my love, my love

& oh, my love, oh my love

& oh, my love, my love

We both go down together
