New York -

Grey and Sorrow there to meet her.

Night sky hangs

Around to greet her

She throws down

Lifeline of kisses.

Anchored to the ground.

Balloon descending.

Then I see balloon is burning,

Turning round burning.

This balloon, burning.

Fragments of my life

Falling

Sky of tire

All consuming.

Then I see balloon is burning.

Turning round burning.

This balloon, burning.
