i have a blue balloon,a happy tune
love enough to last me all through the afternoon
i have the new york time and 14 dimes
and expectations of the most profound nursery rhyme
before the rivers run dry
before the last say good-bye
let's be kind to one another
we can try
so don't just throw your love above
it's not too late to find out
before the sand has all run out of the hour glass
the carnival is here
the crown appears
plastic painted people hold each other near
hopes are always high
the echo of the sky and when it's over
there just a lonely sight of good-bye

before the rivers run dry
before the last say good-bye
let's be kind to one another
we can try

too late to hide it now
it's all around us now
oh ! how i want you girl
to lie beside me now
while there still this time
and now my balloon still rhyme
let me love you now
we can drink a cool,good wine
before the rivers run dry
before the last say good-bye
let's be kind to one another
we can try
so don't just throw your love above
you and me had last find out
before the sand has all run out of the hour-glass
