At The Fair
The Wallies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a grand night for singing,
The moon is flying high,
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he'll be heard
Is throwing his heart at the sky!

It's a grand night for singing,
The stars are bright above.
The earth is a-glow
And to add to the show,
I think I am falling in love!
Falling, falling in love.

[Chorus]
It's a grand night for singing,
The moon is flying high,
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he'll be heard,
Is throwing his heart at the sky!

Maybe it's more than the moon,
Maybe it's more than the birds,
Maybe it's more than sight of the night,
In a light too lovely for words.

Maybe it's more than the earth
Shiny in silvery blue.
Maybe the reason I'm feeling this way
Has something to do with you!

[Chorus]

It's a grand night for singing,
The stars are bright above.
The earth is a-glow
And, to add to the show
I think I am falling in love!
Falling, falling in love!

Margie and Pat:
It's a grand night for singing,
The moon is flying high,
And somewhere a bird
Who is bound he'll be heard,
Is throwing his heart at the sky!





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The Wallies's song At The Fair evokes a dreamy and romantic atmosphere, as the singer expresses his feelings of falling in love on a beautiful night. The song opens with the lines "It's a grand night for singing, the moon is flying high," which sets the mood for a magical night. The singer then notices a bird that is singing with all its heart and passion, throwing its heart towards the sky, adding to the enchanting scene.


As the chorus repeats, the bird's singing becomes symbolic of the singer's longing for someone - perhaps someone he has just met? The singer considers that there may be more to his feeling than the surroundings of the night, that it is not just the moon or the stars, but something that has to do with the person he's falling for. Thus, the romantic and whimsical nature of the night is heightened, causing the singer to say "I think I am falling in love" before the chorus closes.


The overall message of the song seems to be that love can happen at any moment and that it's important to embrace the beauty of life, especially on nights like this. The Wallies's At The Fair is a perfect reflection of a summer evening filled with love and fantasy.
