Noah Georgeson - Bridges and Balloons lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] And I can recall our caravel: A little wicker beetle shell With four fine maste and lateen sails Its bearings on Cair Paravel [Hook] O my love O it was a funny little thing To be the ones to've seen [Verse 3] The sight of bridges 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 thimbles worth of milky moon Can touch hearts larger than a thimble [Hook]
