Steve Gates - Lost Balloons lyrics

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
