Lyrics The Civil Wars

The Civil Wars

Girl With the Red Balloon

There's a pub on the south side of town

Time stands still while there's still wine around

She's the one in the calico

The one who's always and never alone

Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?

Ooh, does she even know she's the girl with the red balloon?

Keep her glass full of cheap champagne

She will tell of the man with no name

Smoke and mirrors have done her in

She's in love and she won't be again

Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?

Ooh, does she even know she's the girl with the red balloon?

So lovely

So lonely

Floating away

Ooh, did she let him go or did the four winds blow him away?

Ooh, does she even know?..

Ooh, did she let him go, did the four winds blow him away?

Ooh, does she even know she's the girl, she's the girl with the red balloon?
