Wind / Vapour / Dew / Frost
Lyrics By Airborne Mark

I saw you passing by swiftly like a wind-swept evening cloud
Actually, you were more like a swallow taking off from a rest on a tree branch
I pondered what possibly could’ve upped the beat of such a fragile heart
Because of the breeze sweeping hair over your face
I think I must’ve misread that fright, quite, as I’m certain till today
There was a sparkle welling up in the corner of your eye
Which by the way eclipsed that traffic light
You saw me not, I froze for hours and now was abruptly brought to the ground
Honking cacophony kick-started me on
“It’s green mate!” shouted angrily a stubbly face in a sleek cabriolet
“Move along”
Not entirely awake I collected my disarrayed thoughts
Too many yards later, I turned round to find you in crowds flooding that bus stop
But in a rut of heavy traffic I was involuntarily swept along with the flow
And I didn’t see either which double decker you briskly hopped on


Wind, vapour is all that you are
Dew, frost in the palm of my hand
For a happily ever after ending
Let’s open this dream with a mere chat
Will you ever stop?
Will you ever turn round? X 2

Few weeks later I was on a school outing to an amusement park
First tickles of the summer sun made it almost perfect apart from me being somewhat frantic
Eyes all around, hand in hand with cheeky Mickey
Who would NOT follow any rules
Who would NOT be bribed with extra play time
Instead he would eagerly break out trying to score a homerun
Then you sparkled dazzlingly, with the exhilaration of a treasure hunter I fished out skilfully those diamond eyes from the bustling mass
Options supersonically raced through my mind
Had to forfeit it all of course as there was no choice at all
Stuck right there with the class shadowing behind my back
Then It struck me
Attention Year 1! We will go on the teapots in a while
Not to lose you again we followed the ripe cherry balloon you just bought
Round the corner by River Rapids
You suddenly stopped, so we stopped
Kids cheered but you moved, we followed on and the kids booed
Another corner, another unscheduled Stop. Emergency here, sick Lourdes and Ayoub with a nosebleed
Later on, slightly delayed we finally caught up
Fixated on the heart shaped balloon, I’ll chat you up in the queue for a coffee one afternoon
Hopefully soon
Another corner, negotiating a candy floss cart
Finally out of the leafy alley into a sardine-packed square
Too late. I lost you right there. There was only one you but millions of selfsame red balloons bobbing in the air

Wind, vapour is all that you are
Dew, frost in the palm of my hand
For a happily ever after ending
Let’s open this dream with a mere chat
Will you ever stop?
Will you ever turn round? X 2
