99 Days Lyrics
she said "I wanna be the rain,
I am a red balloon,
I got a book of dates."
she's gonna go away
and leave me here tonight
some worlds last longer then others
she's got a red balloon,
she's gonna be the sky,
I'm gonna paint my face tonight
hey 99 days out of San Francisco
headed for Berlin
hey 99 days left of California
headed with the wind
If I sail across the water,
I'll be floating blind,
here beside the wild
monkey came alive,
she's leaving me behind
It's so hard to find
she said,
"I wanna be a plane,
I am a red balloon,
I'll never be the same
and I'm gone, gone, gone
gone with the wind."
she said,
"you'll never get away,
you need a red balloon,
you need a better day.
this time, you're headed home this time."
some trips last longer then others,
she just said, "goodbye."
She just float away,
I'm gonna die right here this time
some girls last longer then others,
too few red balloons,
too little time tonight
hey 99 days out of San Francisco
headed for Berlin
hey 99 days left of California
setting with the wind
home
I am a red balloon,
I got a book of dates."
she's gonna go away
and leave me here tonight
she's got a red balloon,
she's gonna be the sky,
I'm gonna paint my face tonight
headed for Berlin
hey 99 days left of California
headed with the wind
I'll be floating blind,
here beside the wild
monkey came alive,
she's leaving me behind
It's so hard to find
"I wanna be a plane,
I am a red balloon,
I'll never be the same
and I'm gone, gone, gone
gone with the wind."
"you'll never get away,
you need a red balloon,
you need a better day.
this time, you're headed home this time."
she just said, "goodbye."
She just float away,
I'm gonna die right here this time
too few red balloons,
too little time tonight
headed for Berlin
hey 99 days left of California
setting with the wind
home
absolutely beautiful! should have been on the "august..." album i thought when i heard it twice. very touching!
then i found out (on lisa's annabegins site) that this is a the himalayans song, Adam's former band. and CC sort of covered it. but still, i mean it is an Adam song.
one of the best of CC, a pity that so less people know about it.
99 red balloons?
This was never a CC song, not sure why it's in this section. It was done by The Himalayans, which was Adams group previous to CC and it was never performed by Counting Crows.
