maggie and milly and molly and may

maggie and milly and molly and may - Natalie Merchant

Maggie and milly and molly and may

Went down to the beach (one day to play)

Maggie and milly and molly and may

Went down to the beach (one day to play)

And maggie discovered a shell that sang

So sweetly she couldn't remember her troubles

Maggie and milly and molly and may

Maggie and milly and molly and may

Milly befriended a stranded star

Whose rays five languid fingers were;

Maggie and milly and molly and may

Maggie and milly and molly and may

And molly was chased by a horrible thing

Which raced sideways while blowing bubbles

May came home with a smooth round stone

As small as a world and as large as alone

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me)

It's always ourselves we find in the sea
