"The Ballad of Lily / Airheart" Lyrics Music & Lyrics by Christopher "Bunny" Bennett Composed by David Michael Bennett & Jonathan Sprague --------------------------------------------
E
Her father fought in the great war 

      A               E
In an aeroplane named Bree
He gave his love to a pretty girl
          A                        E
And said, "Baby you're the one for me"
And though her name was Bree,
         A              E
He still found it all a shock
When he found out she was an airplane,
A
The stork began to knock

  A
A baby girl was born 

         E
With air rudders on her back

    A
She picked up airwave frequencies 

    E
And petrol was her favorite snack

          A
Whale she bubbled noises like an airplane 

E
Every time she sang

             A
And her heart it loved so hungrily, 

    E
And roared like a Mustang
That's why they called her
Amaj7  E
Air   heart

Amaj7  E
Air   heart

                       D
That girl was meant to fly

   Bm          A
So prep the runway

Amaj7  E
Air   heart

Amaj7  E
Air   heart

                       D
That girl will soar away

           E
She was an angel in her blue dress 

                  A                  E
When Little Jimmy Wright took her to prom
The young pilot said he loved her,
    A                     E
And oil began to clam her palm
Whale he was lost in the sky And they said he had died,
    Amaj7            E
But I know something more
They only found Jimmy's goggles,
       A
In his plane upon the floor
Well years went by And she still looked to the sky,
    E
Her feelings did not disperse

          A
She could fly any plane just like an ace

         E
And kept goggles in her purse

        A
And she swore she still heard Jimmy singing, 

E
"That'll Be the Way Home"

A
It would haunt her from her radio 

E
In each sky that she would roam
Jimmy's voice echoed
Amaj7  E
Air   heart

Amaj7  E
Air   heart

                        D
I'm sorry that I flew away
But just remember
Amaj7  E
Air   heart

Amaj7  E
Air   heart

                                  D
Keep flapping and you'll soar one day
Lets Fly! E6 A E A E A E Amaj7 E A E A E A E A
             E             Amaj7
Do you wanna sail into the sky?

E               A
Soar across the stars?

E             A
Sail into the sky?

E               A
Soar across the stars?

E             A
Sail into the sky?

E               A
Soar across the stars?

    B
The stars?

    C
The stars?!

    D
The stars!

A                
Then one fateful day 

     E      
Ended with a storm streaked sky

    A
Her plane crashed into the mountain side, 

        E
Was she flying much too high?

     A            
They only found Jimmy's goggles 

       E
In her plane upon the floor

  A
I hope she's up there somewhere with him 

E
Kissing on a cloudy shore
The birds were singing
Amaj7 E
Airheart

Amaj7 E
Airheart

                       D
That girl was meant to fly
So prep the runway
Amaj7 E

Amaj7 E
Airheart

                        D
That girl will soar one day
