Paper Lantern Moon

[Verse 1] Little ship in the sink Made of porcelain white Sails of tissue and ink Curling up in the night You keep asking the dark if it ever feels small If the stars ever shiver when they think they might fall [Chorus] Sleep My wandering heart Under paper lantern moon All the questions in your chest can learn to echo out of tune If the sky feels far If your wishes come too soon You can hide inside my arms Under paper lantern moon [Verse 2] Shadow clocks on the wall climb in circles and sigh All your crayons in a row All the colors that cried There’s a tear in your map where the oceans turn gray You’ve been drawing little doors no one showed you the way [Chorus] Sleep My wandering heart Under paper lantern moon All the questions in your chest can learn to echo out of tune If the sky feels far If your wishes come too soon You can hide inside my arms Under paper lantern moon [Bridge] If the goodbyes feel too heavy for your hands to hold (mm) Lay them gently on the blanket where your stories grow old Every promise that was broken Every almost Every scar I will keep them in my pocket till you’re ready where you are [Chorus] Sleep My wandering heart Under paper lantern moon All the storms you never named are only passing through the room If the sky feels far If your wishes bloom too soon You can dream yourself back home Under paper lantern moon (shh, my love)
