Bridges And Balloons

   C
We sailed away on a winter’s day
     Am
With fate as malleable as clay
    C
But ships are fallible I say
        Am
And the nautical like all things fades
       C
And I can recall our caravel
  Am
A little wicker beetle shell
      C
With four fine masts and lateen sails
    Am
Its bearings on Cair Paravel
Dm    Fmaj7            C
Oh my love oh it was a funny little thing
   Dm     Fmaj7       C
To be the ones to’ve seen

[Verse 2]

(same as verse 1)

The sight of bridges and balloons
Makes calm canaries irritable
And they caw and claw all afternoon
Catenaries and dirigibles
Brace and buoy the living room
A loom of metal warp woof wimble
And a thimble’s worth of milky moon
Can touch hearts larger than a thimble
Oh my love oh it was a funny little thing
To be the ones to’ve seen
Oh my love oh it was a funny little thing
It was a funny funny little thing
