All those helium hearts
And my collection of lonesomes
Flirting with me
Pulling me away
To make a breeze a long year
A sunset on my life
Hold me to an envelope goodnight
I’ll send myself away
Oh, my lonely heart!
As they fly away by dirigible
Upon a pleasant breeze
Life is but a breeze
Through a long year
All those helium hearts
Float up to the sky so welcome
Set your sails as you set your watch
Set your pace by the breeze, by dirigible
I’ll send myself away to me
In a tired year of lonesomes, smothering me
Setting my heart by the tallest tale
To an envelope closing like a sunset.
