"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
Airheart
Amaj7 E
Airheart
                        D
That girl will soar one day


A       E
Air-air ha ah art
A       E
Air-air ha ah art
A       E
Air-air ha ah art
A       E
Air-air ha ah art
A       E
Air-air ha ah art
A       E
Air-air ha ah art
A       E
Air-air ha ah art
Amaj7 E
Airheart!
