Here on these cliffs of Dover So high you can't see over And while your head is spinning Hold tight it's just beginning You come from parents wanton A childhood rough and rotten I come from wealth and 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 daugher from the labour cans I laid you down on 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
