Joanna Newsom Bridges and Balloons

Tekst piosenki

[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]
