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 bridges and balloons Makes calm canaries irritable And I 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 O my love O 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
