[Verse 1] We sailed away on a winters 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 [Chorus] O my love O it was a funny little thing To be the ones tove seen [Verse 2] The sight of bridges and balloons Makes calm canaries irritable They caw and claw all afternoon Catenaries and dirigibles Brace and buoy the livingroom A loom of metal, warpwoofwimble And a thimbles worth of milky moon Can touch hearts larger than a thimble [Chorus] O my love O it was a funny little thing To be the ones tove seen O my love O it was a funny little thing It was a funny, funny little thing
