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
