lyrics

A barometer fell in love with a very handsome-looking thermometer
and she knew that he could no help by warm to her.
It was the perfect fastening of hands
they felt as if they'd come from the same strange land
where things must move and never still.
Yes, that was their own and their shared idyll
to always dance and never stop.
They planned to bear and grow a tiny clock
and this is where they'd spend their time.

But the barometer moved with the weather and never stayed the same one day to the next.
And the thermometer, if you asked his friends, well they would say he was mercurial, up-and-down, he couldn't keep his feet on the ground.
And one day a fearsome gust of wind blew him away.
