Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Young couple is kickin' air
As their burning balloon takes the pair
Up and up and up and up and up and up and up
An awful windy day
[Verse 2]
And the young agricultural manufacturer's assistant
Slowly raises his sleepin' eyes
He opens them wide, wide, wide, wide, wide
And he stares up at the sky, sky, sky, sky, sky
And the couple cried to ears that could not hear
We are up here
And we are so very afraid of heights
[Verse 3]
That morning the bride said
"I think it's very clear with my premonitions here
We were meant for a ride
In the big hot air balloon tonight"
And now she's cryin'
"Darlin', darlin', dear
I'm so sorry to have brought you here
You see, I'm terrible afeared
We won't get to see the mornin' sky
And I can't help but wonder why
I'm not afraid to die"
[Verse 4]
And the water's all around them, yeah
The water's all around them
Now the townsfolk could try to help, but how?
And now the ground is miles from them
Bound for the ocean
Bound to let go sometime
[Verse 5]
And their arms are getting tired
Yeah, their bones are flaked with fire
From the straining 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 sighed
For years that up till here, they both have dreamed
And so they swept their plans into the sea
[Verse 6]
She said, "We could be a pair of happy fish"
Said "I'll build a house of a sunken ship
Yeah, be a pair of happy fish
We'll build a house of 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
[Verse 7]
When you let go at the same time
With the flowers all falling down
Let the angels and the flowers floatin' around
Stand up and make themselves known now
For letting the lovers drown
