Lyrics
[Chorus]
Red Balloon, I dreamed of a red balloon
It sailed up, up and on!
I jumped to grab the string
Red Balloon, I watched a red balloon
It sailed up, up and on!
I awoke to see.... a red balloon
[v]
I wish you had been naked
Last night in my dream
Instead you were covered in scarlet
Floating just out of reach
[v]
It's true we've been fighting
You've been gone far too long
Tell me has your heart been drifting
I've gotta change what's going wrong
[Chorus]
[v]
You should be right here sleeping
Me and you side my side
But now it's back to dreaming
Where the answer may reside
[Chorus]
