Antje Duvekot - Ballad of Fred Noonan lyrics

The ballad of fred noonan Your eyes were shimmering, amelia And i mistook it for love When you asked me to go As your celestial navigator We would round the earth together I would work the radio Oh but amelia all those miles were just a sum You were living on a runway, what were you running from? Oh but i loved you open-hearted And i held you hand at night High above the pacific sea Still it was like you were flying solo And i was merely standing by On your flights of fancy Never looked back til we were running out of fuel We were running out of land, i was running out of you CHORUS: Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown Oh you went down in history Well, me, i just went down Sweet amelia, you will never be found Didn't even know your own heart Hey but it don't matter now Your sustenance was fame Always starving for a thrill Not afraid of a thing Couldn't you've wished upon a rainbow Just like everybody else? But you had to wish on lightning Oh and i was just a pawn in your adventure I was just a casualty of your madness CHORUS: Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown Oh you went down in history Well, me, i just went down Sweet amelia, you will never be found Didn't even know your own heart Hey but it don't matter now The more i think about it now Was only up above the clouds That our love was ever real And as the mist grew thicker At the static's eery silence My heart stood still Oh and the last thing that you said was you were sorry I did it for love, you did it for glory CHORUS: Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown Oh you went down in history Well, me, i just went down Sweet amelia, you will never be found Didn't even know your own heart Hey but it don't matter now
