作词 : Louris 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 Chorus: Now the blue has turned to red (ahh madeline, breathe) All but given up for dead (ahh 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 (chorus) The dirt in the stream The body never to be found Accepting 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 (ahh madeline, breathe) All but given up for dead (ahh madeline, breathe) Ooh, madeline (madeline, breathe) Now the blue has turned to red (ahh madeline, breathe) All but given up for dead (ahh madeline, breathe) Ooh, madeline (madeline reid) madeline reid can't breathe
