Sixteen Down Lyrics

Sunshine stealing stage time

From the moon and stars above

She said leave me alone

I said take me home

Sixteen down, living in the hallowed ground

Now the blue has turned to red

(Madeline, breathe)

All but given up for dead

(Madeline, breathe)

Ooh, Madeline

(Madeline, breathe)

Madeline, breathe

Skiff rocked like a cradle

And the poor girl fell overboard

Rope wrapped around her neck

Tangled in her hair soaked wet

They dragged the stream

The body never to be found

Now the blue has turned to red

(Madeline, breathe)

All but given up for dead

(Madeline, breathe)

Ooh, Madeline

(Madeline, breathe)

Madeline, breathe

The dirt in the stream

The body never to be found

Accept for the footprints caked

In the muddy ground

Beside where she laid

My life made the headlines

Beneath the waterlily sky

She said leave me alone

I said take me home

Sixteen down, living in the hallowed ground

Now the blue has turned to red

(Madeline, breathe)

All but given up for dead

(Madeline, breathe)

Ooh, Madeline

(Madeline, breathe)

Now the blue has turned to red

(Madeline, breathe)

All but given up for dead

(Madeline, breathe)

Ooh, Madeline

(Madeline Reid)

Madeline Reid can't breathe
