Bridges & Balloons

We sailed away on a winter's day
 With fate as malleable as clay
 But ships are fallible, I say
 And the nautical, as all things, fade
 But I do recall our caravel
 A little wicker beetle shell
 With four fine masts and lateen sails
 Its bearings on Cair Paravel
 Oh, my love
 Oh, it was a funny little thing
 To be the ones to have seen
 ♪
 The sight of bridges and balloons
 Makes calm canaries irritable
 And they caw and claw all afternoon
 Catenaries and dirigibles
 Brace and boil the living room
 A womb of metal, a warp, woof, wimble
 And a thimble's worth of milky moon
 Can beat hearts larger than a thimble
 Oh, my love
 Oh, it was a funny little thing
 To be the ones to have seen
 Oh, my love
 Oh, it was a funny little thing
 It was a funny, funny little thing
