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 masts 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 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 metals warp-woof-wimble"
And a thimblesworth of milky moon
Can touch hearts larger than a thimble.
O my love
O it was a funny little thing
To be the ones to've seen.
O my love
O it was a funny little thing
It was a funny funny little thing.
