when I was a child oh, it was sad!
I was round as a balloon
rose like a balloon
floated like a balloon
oh, when I was a child so sad!
a balloon in a tree oh, it was glad!
blushing at birds in the tree
light light birds
oriole kiskadee
hopeful balloon in a tree foolishly glad!
I married a tree oh, that was hard!
I married it in the night
it changed its nature at night
became unspeakable at night
oh my days with a tree so hard!
when night covered me oh, such deep shade!
when night encaved the tree
enrobed the birds
englobed my soul
oh, when night covered me honeycomb shade!
so I slept as a child hard sad glad night played
