Lost Balloons Lyrics by Steve Gates

A Bee In Her Mouth

0

Lost Balloons
I found her note of interest
Underneath this old balloon
Lost here in a hurricane
On this island here marooned
Note said I’m the one you’re searching for
I am the diamond for which men die
I’m the queen of Quinpool Rd
Where the ocean meets the sky
So I rowed all evening
Rowed on into the night
I held the balloon close
As the land crept out of sight
I found her home by starlight
A tiny dory lost at sea
She was lying on her back
An’ she smiled up at me
Well I found a home beside her
There in the comforts of her eyes
Now I feel like drinking less and I feel like dancing more
An’ I feel like drinking less and dancing more
I was like a sleeping nation
Peaceful with not a watchful eye
She took out her swinging sabers
An’ covered me in powder rings
So I went back to the island
An’ destroyed all the lost balloons
But I cannot keep them off
An’ they’ll be here again soon
So one day she came to see me
Said she was in need of something new
Said kiss me and I’ll go
I said maybe you don’t have to go
I found an inch of truth
Running loose in our old room
But there was always mile of mystery in the halls
Miles of mystery in the halls
Well I found a home beside her
There in the comforts of her eyes
Now I feel like drinking less and I feel like dancing more
