Bride and Groom Hot Air Balloon (feat. Frances Quinlan)

Young couple is kicking air as Their burning balloon Takes the pair up and up and up and up and up and up and up On an awful windy day And the young agricultural manufacturer's assistant Slowly raises his sleeping eyes He opens them wide, wide, wide, wide, wide As he stares up at the sky, sky, sky, sky, sky And the couple cries at ears that could not hear "We are up here and we are so very afraid of heights" That morning the bride said "I think it's very clear With my premonitions here We were meant for a ride In that big hot air balloon tonight" And now she's crying "Oh, darling, darling, dear I'm so sorry to approach you here You seem terrible afeared We won't get to see the morning sky I can't help but wonder why I'm not afraid to die" And the water's all around them, yeah The water's all around them now Townsfolk could try to help but how Now that the ground is miles from them Bound for the ocean Bound to let go sometime And their arms are getting tired, yeah Their bones are flayed with fire From the flaying of their wires She looks into his eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes Says, "At least we know we tried, tried, tried, tried, tried" And the couple's sad for years that up 'til here they both had dreams And so they swept their plans into the sea She said, "We could be a pair of happy fish" She said, "I'll build a house in a sunken ship" Yeah, we could be a pair of happy fish We'll build a house in a sunken ship Now they're a pair of happy fish They live inside a sunken ship Yeah, they're a pair of happy fish They live inside a sunken ship When you let go at the same time With the flowers all falling down Let the angels and the flowers floating around Stand up and make themselves known now And letting the lovers drown
