The Silent Balloon
Words and Music by Ragon Linde
[Intro]
Em C Em C
[Verse 1]
Em C Em C
Standing on the porch on a blasting summer day
Em C G D C
The air was still, my mind was slathered with paste, the chunky kind, like you used in 2nd grade
Em C
Em C Em C
I took a drag from a Gold Coast
Em C
The back of my throat was a bulb
G D C
Looking to my left, I observed a balloon, lying still, minding it’s own business
[Chorus]
Bb Em Bb Em
A small gust of wind pushed the balloon a couple of feet
C
Whoa Whoa
G D C
I decided it was time to move away and start a new life
Em C Em C
[Verse 2]
Em C Em C Em
Never will I forget that balloon
