This is my first song in many months. The melody and timing is very unusual with some short fast bits and long lingering notes in unusual chords.
Ballooning
You, in the balloon
up in the sky so high.
Can you see me
from up there?
Do you try
as you're drifting by?
You, floating on by,
in the azure blue sky.
Can you see home
far below?
Do you know
that I'm aching so?
You were never so distant.
So distant from me.
Distant as the clouds.
Nowadays you are distant
So distant from me.
Distant, and you're moving further away.
You, swimming in blue
breathing the sun light in.
Do you look down
or just up?
Do you think
you're alone up there?
I, watch from below
hearing the burners go.
Would you hear me
If I shout,
or do you hear
only clouds?
You were never so distant.
So distant from me.
Distant as the clouds.
Nowadays you are distant
So distant from me.
Distant, and you're moving further away.
One lonely balloon
far and away in blue.
Will you look down
here to me?
Do you care
if the ground is there?
You were never so distant.
So distant from me.
Distant as the clouds.
Nowadays you are distant
So distant from me.
Distant, and you're moving further away.
