Ballad of Fred Noonan

Lyrics

The ballad of fred noonan
 Your eyes were shimmering, amelia
 And i mistook it for love
 When you asked me to go
 As your celestial navigator
 We would round the earth together
 I would work the radio
 Oh but amelia all those miles were just a sum
 You were living on a runway, what were you running from?
 Oh but i loved you open-hearted
 And i held you hand at night
 High above the pacific sea
 Still it was like you were flying solo
 And i was merely standing by
 On your flights of fancy
 Never looked back til we were running out of fuel
 We were running out of land, i was running out of you
 Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown
 Oh you went down in history
 Well, me, i just went down
 Sweet amelia, you will never be found
 Didnt even know your own heart
 Hey but it don't matter now
 Your sustenance was fame
 Always starving for a thrill
 Not afraid of a thing
 Couldn't you've wished upon a rainbow
 Just like everybody else?
 But you had to wish on lightning
 Oh and i was just a pawn in your adventure
 I was just a casualty of your madness
 Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown
 Oh you went down in history
 Well, me, i just went down
 Sweet amelia, you will never be found
 Didnt even know your own heart
 Hey but it don't matter now
 The more i think about it now
 Was only up above the clouds
 That our love was ever real
 And as the mist grew thicker
 At the static's eery silence
 My heart stood still
 Oh and the last thing that you said was you were sorry
 I did it for love, you did it for glory
 Oh amelia, dont i feel like a clown
 Oh you went down in history
 Well, me, i just went down
 Sweet amelia, you will never be found
 Didnt even know your own heart
 Hey but it don't matter now
