Sixteen Down lyricsSunshine 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
(Can't 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
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/j/jayhawks-lyrics/sixteen-down-lyrics.html ]
Now the blue has turned to read
All but given up for dead
Ohh, Madeline -- Madeline breathe
(Can't breathe)
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
Now the blue has turned to
All but given up for dead
Madeline -- Madeline Breathe...
