"The Ballad of Lily / Airheart" Lyrics
Music & Lyrics by Christopher "Bunny" Bennett
Composed by David Michael Bennett & Jonathan Sprague

--------------------------------------------

E MajorE
Her father fought in the great war
   A augmentedA        E MajorE
In an aeroplane named Bree

He gave his love to a pretty girl
     A augmentedA            E MajorE
And said, "Baby you're the one for me"

And though her name was Bree,
     A augmentedA       E MajorE
He still found it all a shock

When he found out she was an airplane,
A augmentedA
The stork began to knock

 A augmentedA
A majorA baby girl was born
     E MajorE
With air rudders on her back
  A augmentedA
She picked up airwave frequencies
  E MajorE
And petrol was her favorite snack
     A augmentedA
Whale she bubbled noises like an airplane
E MajorE
Every time she sang
       A augmentedA
And her heart it loved so hungrily,
  E MajorE
And roared like a Mustang


That's why they called her


Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Air  heart
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Air  heart
            D MajorD
That girl was meant to fly
  B minorBm     A augmentedA
So prep the runway
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Air  heart
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Air  heart
            D MajorD
That girl will soar away

      E MajorE
She was an angel in her blue dress
         A augmentedA         E MajorE
When Little Jimmy Wright took her to prom

The young pilot said he loved her,
  A augmentedA           E MajorE
And oil began to clam her palm

Whale he was lost in the sky

And they said he had died,
  Amaj7Amaj7      E MajorE
But I know something more

They only found Jimmy's goggles,
    A augmentedA
In his plane upon the floor


Well years went by

And she still looked to the sky,
  E MajorE
Her feelings did not disperse
     A augmentedA
She could fly any plane just like an ace
     E MajorE
And kept goggles in her purse
    A augmentedA
And she swore she still heard Jimmy singing,
E MajorE
"That'll Be the Way Home"
A augmentedA
It would haunt her from her radio
E MajorE
In each sky that she would roam


Jimmy's voice echoed


Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Air  heart
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Air  heart
            D MajorD
I'm sorry that I flew away

But just remember
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Air  heart
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Air  heart
                 D MajorD
Keep flapping and you'll soar one day


Lets Fly!
E6E6 A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE A augmentedA

       E MajorE       Amaj7Amaj7
Do you wanna sail into the sky?
E MajorE        A augmentedA
Soar across the stars?
E MajorE       A augmentedA
Sail into the sky?
E MajorE        A augmentedA
Soar across the stars?
E MajorE       A augmentedA
Sail into the sky?
E MajorE        A augmentedA
Soar across the stars?
  BB
The stars?
  C majorC
The stars?!
  D MajorD
The stars!


A augmentedA
Then one fateful day
   E MajorE
Ended with a storm streaked sky
  A augmentedA
Her plane crashed into the mountain side,
    E MajorE
Was she flying much too high?
   A augmentedA
They only found Jimmy's goggles
    E MajorE
In her plane upon the floor
 A augmentedA
I hope she's up there somewhere with him
E MajorE
Kissing on a cloudy shore


The birds were singing


Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Airheart
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Airheart
            D MajorD
That girl was meant to fly

So prep the runway
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Airheart
Amaj7Amaj7 E MajorE
Airheart
            D MajorD
That girl will soar one day
