Hot Air Balloon Ride
- Ilmalaiva -

Track #5 from the When in Rome CD

Written by: Music by Larry Price, orig. Finnish lyric by Maria Parr, English lyric by Judy Lamppu, arranged by Sven Nygård


Overhead, how I fly
See the city going by
Wonderland, calling me
From my flying fantasy

I feel so peaceful
In this special place
Look down below, where busy people race
Running 'round, how they scurry
Everyone in a hurry
Here I float with no worry

What a rare, mystic ride
Clouds of amber by my side
See the sun, going down
As I glide above the town

Hot air balloon ride
Magic carpet flight
Amazing view, where ocean meets the sky

Sky above, sea below me
Life has so, much to show me
Take the time, just to know me

-Instrumental break -

What a rare, thrilling ride
Clouds of amber by my side
See the sun, going down
As I glide over the town

Hot air balloon ride
What a lovely flight
Amazing view, where ocean meets the sky

Take the time, just to know me
Life has so, much to show me
Sky above, sea below me

Journey's over
I'm back on the ground
This song (orig. Finnish lyric) was recorded in May 2003 at Studio Brushane in Helsinki, Finland.
