Lyrics
She would own the room Stalk in as if ten feet tall She’d pull the gaze of all
Like helium balloons She held the strings
Her words were fluid And they all bent to hear As they chased them down like favours She was so careful Of her careless attitude.
But one day it slipped her mind The balloons sought the sky Her gaze unmet Her skin slick as ice The eyes glided by.
As a balloon slips from a child’s fingers She slipped her mind Not ten feet tall But small, so small She slipped her mind Light and airy Thistle seed on a breeze.
She was queen of her room Forgot the word balloon Most feet the path forgot To that high tower the world had sought. The clear eyes had seen the truth Now clouds obscured the view Her tongue became tired Discarded and wasted The words she had played with had flown.
But one day it slipped her mind
The balloons sought the sky
Her gaze unmet
Her skin slick as ice
The eyes glided by.
As a balloon slips from a child’s fingers She slipped her mind Not ten feet tall But small, so small She slipped her mind Light and airy
Thistle seed on a breeze.
