We're at a seventies dreamy carnival show Kids covered in tweed and colored balloons that glow One of them's my father, he bought his first tape cassette He's got a mustache on, draped over his cigarette He's talking to a girl about the war, she thinks they should come home He tends to agree, and buys her a balloon for the road It's set in motion now, a butterfly flaps its wings One balloon comes back to Earth, another one's gaining steam Tightly I hold that balloon If I let go I'll float to the moon Like the leaves floating down from the trees They fall to make way for the seeds We're in the eighties now, kids are rocking at the mall I'd buy an Atari game but I'm too small One war is over, but a cold one's going to linger Ain't nothing cold about the girl waiting to put some rings on our fingers I haven't yet met her and her daddy's now a name on the wall She'll search for ten long years for one balloon to fix it all Tightly she holds that balloon If she lets go she'll float to the moon Like the leaves floating down from the trees They fall to make way for the seeds I see my old leaf floating down Floating down in to the ground We're in the twenties again, does time really change? Roaring wars, a rocking crash, same picture different frame It's a mean old world, a cold clockwork existence Trying to find some love to shake the watchmaker's persistence And on it goes Like the leaves floating down from the trees They fall to make way for the seeds I see my old leaf floating down About to find peace on the ground Just in time to see his seed grow Reminds me of my time to go When all we got is the hope for our kids And that the trees better off because we lived
