Red Balloon

de Vagabond Opera

The other night I had a dream
You came to me or so seemed
On a vessel of hot air gleaming red
An impetus upon the wing
You offered me a golden ring
And so I left my dreams within the bed

I jumped aboard with nightcap on
The moon was up
The curtains drawn-we rose into the silver dusty glow
The whistle spoke above the cloak
Of factories that billowed smoke
Over the city of bordeaux

The captain and the ballast boy
Played a waltz on clocks and toys
We set our sights for glory, and the sea
We fired the gas, and soon we passed
Painted ships all made of brass
Who sailed in orbit astro-logically

You promised me a lullabye
And we built castles in the sky
Fashioned from the flowers that we grew
But then the wind's song was strange
And we both knew that things would change
And so you left me floating in the blue

Oh, wind, carry me, carry me, far away far away
Until another day
Until another june
I'll be looking for a lark
I'll be floating in the dark
On this giant red balloon

Oh, wind, carry me, carry me, far away far away
Until another day
Until another june
I'll be looking for a lark
I'll be floating in the dark
On this giant red balloon

Two lovers, foating in the atmosphere
And I will always be your faithful cavalier
And just like tales of d'arlandes and rozier
We'll float among the stars, I, your valiant gondolier

The other night I had a dream
You came to me or so it seemed
On a zepplin made of crystal, made of glass
Upon a steam calliope
You sat and played a song for me
A shanti from a vagrant midnight mass

You puffed a pipe of turkish moss
And set course for the albatross
A sea of silver prophets on the wing
And through the captain's telescope
You gazed and blew a ring of smoke
And then we bade farewell unto the spring

You were like a dusty rose
An arrow launched from heaven's bow
A chanson, ever haunting to my ear
And for better or for worse
I knew this was the final verse
An ode to times soon to disappear

The anchor man was ill-content
And sang a song, a sweet lament
While I flipped pennies to the sky
And bade farewell to you my love
This stormy romance up above
A tale sure to electrify

Oh, wind, carry me, carry me, far away far away
Until another day
Until another june
I'll be looking for a lark
I'll be floating in the dark
On this giant red balloon

Oh, wind, carry me, carry me, far away far away
Until another day
Until another june
I'll be looking for a lark
I'll be floating in the dark
On this giant red balloon
