[Verse 1] You brought a basket made of blue With little sparks stitched through I brought the tales we never told And clothespins painted gold Across the dark, the thin lines run Like ribbons from the sun We pin our wishes one by one To dry before the dawn [Pre-Chorus] Your secret hangs beside mine A silver sleeve, a crooked line No story has to stand alone When every thread can find a home [Chorus] Hang the moon, let the galaxies air out Clip every maybe where the bright winds care about Threadlike light from here to there Crossing through the open air Hang the moon, let the galaxies air out Tell me what your little universe is all about Side by side, the night can see Every tale belongs to me and you [Verse 2] The comet brought a paper kite With ink in violet flight A shy small planet took the end And found a brand-new friend We shake the wrinkles from the sky And watch the colors fly Your laugh becomes a yellow flag That waves from star to star [Pre-Chorus] The oldest sun has room to spare For every dream we leave up there And if one thread begins to fray We tie it back in place and stay [Chorus] Hang the moon, let the galaxies air out Clip every maybe where the bright winds care about Threadlike light from here to there Crossing through the open air Hang the moon, let the galaxies air out Tell me what your little universe is all about Side by side, the night can see Every tale belongs to me and you [Bridge] If your colors fade, bring them near I’ll hold the line, you hold the fear If my sky turns inside out Sing the small refrain you know by heart [Break] Oh, pin it high, pin it true There’s room for me, there’s room for you Oh, pin it high, pin it true The whole wide dark is made brand-new [Final Chorus] Hang the moon, let the galaxies air out Clip every maybe where the bright winds care about Threadlike light from here to there Crossing through the open air Hang the moon, let the galaxies air out Tell me what your little universe is all about Side by side, the night can see Every tale belongs to me and you [Outro] Leave the lines across the blue I’ll hang my next one next to you Hang the moon, let the galaxies air out Every tale belongs to me and you
