Joanna Newsom - Bridges And Balloons Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • We sailed away on a winter's day
  • with fate as malleable as clay;
  • but ships are fallible, I say,
  • and the nautical, like all things, fades
  • And I can recall our caravel:
  • a little wicker beetle shell
  • with four fine maste and lateen sails,
  • its bearings on Cair Paravel
  • O my love,
  • O it was a funny little thing
  • to be the ones to've seen.
  • The sight of briges and balloons
  • makes calm canaries irritable;
  • they caw and claw all afternoon:
  • "Catenaries and dirigibles
  • brace and buoy the living-room --
  • a loom of metal, warp - woof - wimble."
  • And a thimblesworth of milky moon
  • can touch hearts larger than a thimble.
  • O my love,
  • O is was a funny little thing
  • to be the ones to've seen

    • Report error in lyric
