Red Balloons

Close to the night, all the birds take flight
It’s a long old way down the street
And I’m not looking at my feet

I’m remembering red balloons flying in the afternoons
Carving through the black and white
Bright satellite
I’m caught up in the tune, deep into the lagoon
And I’m wondering at the moon

Dreams float away now

Wait for the dark, right at the edge of the park
Until I cannot see what’s right in front of me

I’m remembering red balloons flying in the afternoons
Carving through the black and white
Bright satellite
I’m caught up in the tune, deep into the lagoon
And I’m wondering at the moon

Dreams float away
Dreams float away now

In the disintegration, wishing on the constellation
Fly me away
Fly me away

I’m remembering red balloons flying in the afternoons
Carving through the black and white
Bright satellite
I’m caught up in the tune, deep into the lagoon
And I’m wondering at the moon
