Lyrics:
[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And oh, my love, my love And oh, my love, my love We both go down together [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] Meet me on my vast veranda My sweet, untouched Miranda And while the seagulls are crying We fall but our souls are flying [Chorus] 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
