This is the thirteenth and final song of The Flying Club Cup, released in 2007 by 4AD Records.
The song (and the album whose name it shares) takes its title from a hot air balloon festival in France in the 1900s. He was inspired to name his album after it when he found a 1910 photo by Leon Gimpell....
[Verse 1]
I built my house of reeds
Upon a marsh in Elise
My father was released
A day's walk from San Denise
We buried him beneath
The bone-white sands of San Denise
[Verse 2]
Silence of an airborne night
Push high above the roof
Daughters of the red lights blind
The icy works of art
The city lights and restless nights
Go once upon the Lord
You and I will lie beside
The fire sparked from boards
It's yours. Oh oh oh oh oh....
[Outro]
It's yours. Oh oh oh oh oh....
It's yours. Oh oh oh oh oh....
It's yours. Oh oh oh oh oh....
