D Am7
Lazy old day
G Am7 D
Rolling away
D Am7 G
Dreaming the day away
Don’t want to go
Now that I’m in the flow
Crazy amazing day
One red balloon
Floats to the moon
Just let it fly away
I only know
That I’m longing to go
Back to my lazy day
G Bm A D
And how it sings and how it sighs
G Bm A
And how it never stays
Bm A D
And how it rings and how it cries
G Bm A
And how it sails away…
away… away….
