Lost Balloons Songtext
von Steve Gates

I found a note of interest
Underneath this old balloon
Lost here in the 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 Road
Where the ocean meets the sky

So I rowed all evening
Rowed on into the night
Held the balloon close
As the land crept out of sight

I found a home by starlight
Tiny door a lusted sea
She was lying on her back
And 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

And I feel like drinking less and dancing more
And I feel like drinking less and dancing more
And I feel like drinking less and dancing more

Love's like a sleeping nation
Peaceful if not a watchful eye
She took good her swinging sabers
And covered me in powdered rings

So I went back to the island
Destroyed all the lost balloons
But I cannot keep them off
And 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 said maybe you don't have to go
I said maybe you don′t have to go
I said maybe you don't have to go


I found an inch of truth
Running loose in our old room
But there were always miles of mystery in the halls
Miles of mystery in the halls
Miles of mystery in the halls
Miles in the halls

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
