JOANNA NEWSOM Bridges And Balloons Lyrics
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
