The fifth song on S.F. Sorrow, a rock opera about a man of the same name living a life of, well, sorrow. In this song, Sorrow’s newly found wife dies in the Hindenburg.
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 on fire
All consuming
Then I see balloon is burning
Turning round burning
This balloon, burning
Balloon Burning was written by Phil May & Dick Taylor & Wally Waller & John Povey.
