Fifty Five Falls

And I say to the day, why you drop down to die, with fifty five falls, and seventy skies. And I say to the say, why this Ballad of Brine, with Mayflower May, and her monocled eye.
Oh, Where she lies, gently close her eyes. Oh, where she lies, gently close her eyes. Oh damn July!
Oh, I had a friend, I remember her well, with sad little hands, and a sad sickle cell. Oh, I had a friend, her ship sailed away, t'was fifty five falls ago to this day.
Oh, where she lies, gently close her eyes. Oh, where she lies, gently close her eyes. Oh, damn July!
And I say to the day, why'd you drop down to die. With fifty five falls, and seventy skies. And I say to the day, why this ballad of brine, with Mayflower May, and her monocled eye.

Stallions:
Mother, the stallions are running wild.
Save me your evil thoughts of mind.
Lord, I try my best to save you from your mind.
Lord, I try my best to save you from your mind.
Mother, the table's dressed in white.
Save me your evil thoughts of mind.
I try my best to save you from your mind.
Lord I try my best to save you from your mind.
Mother the stallions are running wild.
Save me your evil thoughts of time.
Lord I try my best to save you from your mind.

Undertaker:
I was your undertaker, and I was your highway girl. And I was your bitter taste of every other world.
You wake in the maddening morning.
You wake in the fire light twirl.
You wait for your funny dancer,
from every other world.
And I was your undertaker.
And I was your ivory girl.
And I was your bitter taste of every other world.
And I wait for the trains to ride me back
to some highway world.
And I wait for the trains to ride me back,
to some other world.

Box of Cedar:
Seven winters past and gone,
I once was young and I once was strong
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee
Six fine times I felt my knees
buckle to your sweet release
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee
Five times tried to conjure you,
a letter or a note or clue
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee
And I'm gonna tell everybody I know
that I'm glad to see you
And I'm gonna tell everybody I know
that I'm glad to see you
even though you're comin home in a Box of Cedar
For four year you courted I
your raven hair your brittle bride
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee
Three more times I tried to find
A lover to match your sweet kind
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee
And I'm gonna tell everybody I know
that I'm glad to see you
And I'm gonna tell everbody I know
that I'm glad to see you
even though you're coming home in a Box of Cedar
La da da
One am I to fill these rooms
and wake each morn to the drone of doom
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee
Seven winters past and gone
I once was young and I once was strong
Shanaddee, a dee, a dee

Bird Song:
If I call your name at midnight
oh, you would not be there
If I call your name at midnight
oh, you would not be there.
You said my name so sweetly,
oh the one time that you called
oh you said my name so sweetly
that I took my clothes all off
Oh, the birds are calling
and I do not believe for me
Oh, the birds are calling
and I do not believe for me
Yes I do not believe for me
I thought I saw you walking
with your trenchcoat in the rain
Yes I thought I saw you driving
down the streets past me again
Yes I drank the table under
and I drank your bitter wine
Yes I drank the table under
and I drank your bitter wine
Oh the bells are ringing
and I do not believe for me
Oh the bells are ringing
and I do not believe for me
yes I do not believe for me
I walk on every Monday
with your memory so clear
yes I walk on vagrant runways
and think of how your near

Mayflower May:
Without a lover, without a friend
Without a savior, without a friend
Without a lover, without a friend
Mayflower walked away, away towards the air
And if you see her, call out her name
And if you hear her, out in the rain,
Mayflower May belle, May was her name
Without a lover, without a friend
Without a savior, without a friend
Without a lover, without a care
Mayflower walked away, away towards the air
And if you see her, call out her name
And if you hear her, out in the rain,
Mayflower May belle, May was her name

Days of Rum:
She knew you in the time,
she was young and yearned to die.
She'd gaze at the light
in the corner in the night.
And the men would come to her
in the dead of old winter.
In the doldrums it was fine
to touch her body and her mind.
singing "dum, ditty dum, days of fun, days of rum"
singing "dum, ditty dum, days of fun, days of rum"
Scarlett in the wine, raise the bloody vine
oh she knew you in the time
she was young and yearned to die
but the roses never came
she was just some winter rain
and in her bed she lay
and she dreamt of a dying day
Singing "dum ditty dum, days of fun, days of rum"
singing "dum ditty dum, days of fun, days of rum"

Virginia:
The waves against the folds of my face
as I start to drown.
Oh the waves rush against the folds of my face
as I start to drown,
Oh Virginia, Virginia, die
In winter the water will wash up above the water side
In winter the water will wash above the water side
Oh Virgina, Virginia, Virginia die
With rocks in your pockets you walk up above
the waterside
With rocks in your pockets you walk above
the waterside
Oh Virgina, Virgina, Virginia dies
The waves rush against the folds of my face
as I start to fall
oh the waves rush against the folds of my face
as I start to fall
Oh Virgina, Virginia, Virginia falls
