Verse 1 Floating lanterns drift above the town Softly glowing circles pulling down Every wish I whispered to the flame Carries on without a name Verse 2 River mirrors every passing light Twisting colours into quiet night I can hear the silence speak to me Telling secrets only we can see Chorus Under the paper lantern sky We are weightless, you and I Time dissolves in silver streams Waking life feels like a dream Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky Verse 3 Voices echo from the other side Where the edges of the world subside Hold my hand and we can disappear Into the glow that lingers here Chorus Under the paper lantern sky We are weightless, you and I Time dissolves in silver streams Waking life feels like a dream Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky Bridge And when the morning tries to break the spell We’ll keep the colours where they fell Paint them deep inside our minds to stay Long after night has slipped away Final Chorus (with layered, floating harmonies) Under the paper lantern sky We are endless, you and I Drifting higher, soft and slow Wherever we are, that’s home Paper lantern sky Paper lantern sky (ooooh… paper lantern sky…)
