Blue Balloon

Long enough to last me all through the afternoon

I have the new york times fourteen dimes

Explanation of the most profoundnursery rhymes

Before the rivers run dry

Before the last sad goodbye

Let us be kind

To one another we can try

So don't just throw your love about

It's not too late to find out

Before the sand has all run out of the hourglass

The carnival is here

The clowns appear

Plastic painted

People hold each other near

Hopes are always high

They echo off the sky when it's over

There's just a lonely sound of goodbye

Before the rivers run dry

Before the last sad goodbye

Let us be kind

To one another we can try

So don't just throw your love about

It's not too late to find out

Before the sand has all run out of the hourglass

Too late to hide it now

It's all around us now

How I want you girl to lie beside me now

While the stillest time

And all my poems to rhyme

Let me love you now we can drink the good good wine

Before the rivers run dry

Before the last sad goodbye

Let us be kind to one another we can try

So don't just throw your love about

You and me hey let's find out

Before the sand has all run out

Of the hourglass
