[Verse 1] You drew a moon on my window With your finger and a grin Paper cut on my heart When you let the night back in Salt on your collar, slow From the walk by the river bend You said my name like a secret Then you said it again [Pre-Chorus] And the sky leaned low Like it wanted to stay Your hand in mine Made the dark feel tame [Chorus] Paper moon, come down Spin me in your glow Paper moon, come down Tell me where we go Galaxy, stay close Don’t let me drift away Paper moon, paper moon Keep the night in place [Verse 2] We crossed that field of gravel Past the fence and the empty swing Your laugh hit the fence wire Like a small bright thing I had a hundred reasons To keep my feet on the ground But your eyes were a doorway And I stepped through them out [Pre-Chorus] Now the sky leans low Like it knows my name Your hand in mine Makes the whole world change [Chorus] Paper moon, come down Spin me in your glow Paper moon, come down Tell me where we go Galaxy, stay close Don’t let me drift away Paper moon, paper moon Keep the night in place [Bridge] If morning comes too soon Hide me in your seams Stitch me to your silver Let me live the dream [Final Chorus] Paper moon, come down Spin me in your glow Paper moon, come down Tell me where we go Galaxy, stay close Don’t let me drift away Paper moon, paper moon Keep the night in place
