Gowan's Red Balloon

Blue strawberries from the garden growing high

Four sweet colors

And a million bubbles in the sky

I took a picture

You held the sun between your eyes

I was born a bastard

My love, you always had it right

But in a sky of diamonds,

Upsidedown I'm flying

I watched people dying

'Till you and I were dying too

So it happened

I imagined you tonight

Tied to a red balloon

I watched it float you through the sky

I snapped a picture

Cause I could never trust my mind

I was born a wisher

Who never seemed to have the time

Now when I look around me

All I see is are upsidedown

He's climbing up the upsidedown trees

Hiding in the upsidedown leaves

Below a sky of diamonds

There floats a golden island

Maybe I'll never find it

But dear I won't stop trying

Somewhere bluebirds are flying

I'll sing a song to die in

I'll sing a song.
