Lyrics

Hot Air Balloon

[Verse 1]

Your sandals, your shoes

Your calico boots

[Chorus]

Across an ocean, along the shore

Take care to put it all behind you

With the breaking sounds

Over London, over Paris, over Bilbao

In a hot air balloon

[Verse 2]

Time, over my head

Covered in blue

I know what to do

I know what to do

[Chorus]

Across an ocean, along the shore

Take care to put it all behind you

With the breaking sounds

Over London, over Paris, over Bilbao

In a hot air balloon
