Balloon Maker Lyrics - Midlake

He was a great balloon maker 

The balloons were never known for speed 

There's no way that you'll get sweet 

You asked me to waste some time 

Come out to see the sun, you're all we've got 

But I said, "I think there's more of them like us" 

And he said, "You might be right we'll find them in time 

Somewhere" I had a dream, yeah 

He was a great balloon maker 

Then they outlawed all balloons 

He packed up and put his things away 

He asked me to waste some time 

Come out to see the sun, you're all we've got 

But I said, "I think there's more of them like us" 

And he said, "You might be right we'll find them in time 

Somewhere" I had a dream
