Lyrics
[Verse 1] You found a paper kite Caught in a hibiscus tree I held the tangled string You laughed and handed it to me A little yellow boat Was drifting past the pier We waved as if it knew our names And brought the whole day near [Chorus] What a curious world we wander through With a pocket full of skies Every small surprise leads me back to you And the mischief in your eyes If the road bends wide, we'll follow where it goes No map, no grand design Just a tune the afternoon already knows And your hand resting in mine [Verse 2] A lizard on the wall Wore a crown of painted dust The baker's dog performed a bow As if applause was just You drew a crooked sun On the corner of a page Then gave it to a passing child Who carried it away [Chorus] What a curious world we wander through With a pocket full of skies Every small surprise leads me back to you And the mischief in your eyes If the road bends wide, we'll follow where it goes No map, no grand design Just a tune the afternoon already knows And your hand resting in mine [Instrumental] [Bridge] When evening folds the sails And the bright-blue hours grow thin We'll keep the little things we found And let tomorrow in [Final Chorus] What a curious world we wander through With a pocket full of skies Every small surprise leads me back to you And the laughter in your eyes If the road bends wide, we'll follow where it goes No map, no grand design Just a tune the afternoon already knows And your hand resting in mine [Outro] A paper kite, a painted sun The day is softly done
