Singer songerwriter Marissa Nadler with theremin player Miles Baer , Nov. 16,2007. Ms. Nadler is known for her haunting elegies to departed friends and her unique folk style. This is her most well known songs and one of my
favorites. Reposted from the deleted account of lightning49
And I say to the day
Why'd you drop down to die
With fifty five falls
And seventy skies?
And I say to the day
Why this ballad of brine?
With Mayflower May and here monocle'd eye
Where she lies
Gently close her eyes
Where she lies
Gently close her eyes
Oh, Damn July!
Oh, I had a friend
I remember her well
With sad little hands
A sad sickle cell..
Oh, I had a friend
Her ship sailed away
T'was fifty five falls
ago to this day
Where she lies
Gently close her eyes
Where she lies
Gently close her eyes
Oh, Damn July!
And I say to the day
Why'd you drop down to die
With fifty five falls
And seventy skies
And I say to the day
Why this Ballad of Brine?
With Mayflower May and her monocle'd eye
When she dies
Slowly close her eyes
Where she lies
Gently close her eyes
Oh, Damn July
