Balloons
The Sallyangie feat. Mike Oldfield & Sally Oldfield Lyrics

Little bluebird fluttering into my hand
A small blue bird lands on the singer's hand and flutters its wings.

Sun falls in love over the land
The sun sets over the land, casting a romantic glow.

I will live forever just you wait and see
The singer proclaims they will live forever, with a confident tone.

No matter what you do to my bluebird and me
The singer asserts that nothing can harm them or the bluebird.

Oranges and lemons say the bells of St. Clement's
The bells of the St. Clement's church chime, singing about oranges and lemons.

I'll give you five farthings say the bells of St. Martins
The bells of the St. Martin's church chime, offering to bet five farthings.

Hear comes a chopper to chop off your head
The sound of an approaching helicopter is heard, threatening to chop someone's head off.

Chip chop chip your dead
A chant that emphasizes the danger of the chopper and the potential fate of the listener.

I remember the day when I was the night
The singer reminisces about a time when they embodied the night.

And the sun was my eyes in the moon
The sun, acting as a metaphorical eye, watched over them in the moonlit night.

But I changed into day and the night flew away
The singer transitions into day time and the night, both literally and metaphorically, fades away.

And I sang to my lover the moon
The singer sang to the moon, possibly as a romantic gesture or as a form of self-expression.

I remember the sound when my hair felt the ground
The singer recalls a moment where their hair touched the ground and made a sound.

And the words that were written on you
The words written on an unidentified object (or person) are remembered.

But you were not there so I slept on the stair
The object or person is not present, leading to the singer sleeping on the stairs.

And you came in a lemon balloon
The object or person reappears, this time in a balloon that is the color of a lemon.

Who are you?
The singer is questioning the identity of the object or person who appeared in the balloon.

I remember the breeze and the soft creamy cheese
The singer remembers a time where they were outside in a breeze and had soft, creamy cheese.

That we gave to the doves on the lawn
The cheese was given to doves that were on the lawn.

But the grass was so green that it soaked up the cream
The grass was so lush and green that it absorbed the cream from the cheese.

And the doves flew away and were gone
The doves flew away, leaving after the cheese was finished.

But I saw the smiles that were deep in their eyes
The singer noticed that the doves were happy and had smiles in their eyes.

And I saw the joke was on you but I could not laugh
The singer realizes that they were the butt of a joke, but they couldn't find it amusing.

I went back to the grass and you came in a rainbow balloon
After the doves' departure, the object or person appeared again, this time in a rainbow-colored balloon.

Who are you? Who are you?
The singer repeats their earlier question, unsure of who or what the object or person is.
