Sunshine stealing stage time

From the moon and stars above
Em  G

Sixteen down living in the hallowed ground

Verse 2

Em    G             Em  D
Skiff rocked like a cradle
        Em             D   C
And the poor girl fell overboard
Em   G
Rope wrapped around her neck
Em      G
Tangled in her hair soaked wet

They dragged the stream

The body never to be found

In the muddy ground beside where she lay

My life made the headlines

Beneath the waterlily sky
