Balloonflight

10. Balloonflight

Tekst: Bart Van Damme
Melodie: Geert De Mits
Muziek: Cats in the Attic

 

All over a land of grannies we flew

We stood in a wacky square basket

Looking at Ghent and we knew

This dream wouldn’t happen again

This dream wouldn’t happen again

 

Balloonflight, cold and lonely

In my arms a lady with me

Balloonflight, earth goodbye

Higher and higher, trip of your life

 

Lonesomely rising away from the ground

We waved at the moving matches down

Seeing three towers on a row

This dream wouldn’t happen again

This dream wouldn’t happen again

 

Balloonflight, this is the wind

Talking to this poor old country

Balloonflight, feeling fine

            This must be the trip, of our life
