Decemberists We Both Go Down Together Lyrics

We Both Go Down Together Lyrics

here on these cliffs of Dover 

so high you cant see over 

and while your head is spinning 

hold tight, its just beginning 



you come from parents wanton 

a childhood rough and rotten 

I come from wealth a beauty 

untouched by work or duty 



and, oh, my love, my love... 

and, 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 in the grass of a clearing 

you wept, but your soul was willing 



and, oh, my love, my love... 

and, oh, my love, my love... 

we both go down together 



and my parents will never consent to this love 

but I hold your hand 



meet me on my vast veranda 

my sweet, untouched Miranda 

and while the seagulls are crying, 

we fall but our souls are flying 



and, oh, my love, my love... 

and, oh, my love, my love... 

and, oh, my love, oh my love... 

and, oh, my love, my love... 

we both go down... together
