Sixteen Down Lyrics
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
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
The dirt in the stream
The body never to be found
Accepting for the footprints caked
In the muddy ground beside where she lay
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
From the moon and stars above
She said, "Leave me alone"
I said, "Take me home"
Sixteen down
Living in the hallowed ground
All but given up for dead
Ooh, Madeline
Madeline Breathe
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
The body never to be found
Accepting for the footprints caked
In the muddy ground beside where she lay
Beneath the waterlily sky
She said, "Leave me alone"
I said, "Take me home"
Sixteen down
Living in the hallowed ground
