A Bouquet of Black Balloons Lyrics

She had a bouquet of black balloons

She floated away like in cartoons

She's looking down from heaven now

All fear and wonder, all hope and doubt

In the sweet hereafter my angel croons

All because of a bouquet of black balloons

The oar slapped the creek bed

One dark October weekend

The road ahead, here gathers like a ribbon

Here it coils like a rattler

Goes crooked as an antler

Here it tangles like an ancient tree

A bouquet of black balloons

She floated away like in cartoons

She's looking down from heaven now

All fear and wonder, all hope and doubt

In the sweet hereafter my angel croons

All because of a bouquet of black balloons
