Let them come by horse   Let them come by train   Let them send the army for the ghost of the plane   Singing, cheer up, cheer up, cheer up      Let them say these things   The lovers let us down   So we tore off their wings and ran them from town   Singing, chin up, chin up, chin up      You were right out in reign when you met me   I opened your eyes or you never should have let me   Trade all those memories for this cheap pair of wings   I've held them together with wire and strings      Some hearts crick like shut-ins   Yours is sported up real tight   I'm sure it's just out for cold   Sure, it's just out for light      Oh, you've thrown me to the wolves   You've thrown me to the wolves      Let them come by horse   Let them come by train   Let them send the army for the ghost of the plane   Singing, cheer up, cheer up
