Red Balloons


Katie Melua & Polly Scattergood


I put my heart in a red balloon
but I let it go too soon
let it go on the boulevard
where wicked winds blow so hard

Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that
the sky is full of red balloons
red balloons are full of broken hearts
broken hearts are floating by a chance

Will they burst or drift
into arms
will they burst or drift
into arms

I put my voice in a red balloon
for you it sang too many tunes
haunted by those melodies
I let it go with the breeze

Maybe had I looked up I would have seen that
the sky is full of red balloons
red balloons are full of broken hearts
broken hearts are floating by a chance

Will they burst or drift
into arms
will they burst or drift
into arms

I put my eyes in a red balloon
to watch you with the light of the moon
but seeing you holding hands
with another girl and making plans
well I just had to set you free
and finally see that

The sky is full of red balloons
red balloons are full of broken hearts
broken hearts are floating by a chance

Will they burst or drift
into arms
will they burst or drift
into arms
