She let him go Small blue balloon Higher and higher in pink perfume In sunny summer afternoon And as I wait In fading day We sat on hallowed oaks and play And paint the ocean green Smiling at the dying sun Beneath the clouds she cried on us And when the sky was dead enough
We rowed our boats to shore She stole my faith With a stain of light Through the aching countryside I'm wandering without a mind With a sudden flood of wind Angels leave the womb They break apart like dandelions Thirsty for blood
