The Black Balloon is probably a friend who doesn't know what to do or have any direction in life. The singer (Allison) probably used to help them, but now she has let go of the person (let go of the balloon) to let them be on their own. The weather, meaning life, will now have its way with you.
To me its about finally letting go of a life long dream. In this case its Alison Mosshart's dream to be a "rockstar" and she has tried and tried a thousand "street scenes" but "has anyone ever told you its not coming true?" farewell my black balloon is the thought of her dream dying and saying goodbye to it...
