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
