[Verse 1] You left a paper kite Caught high in the jacaranda tree Red tail against the afternoon Turning where it wants to be I found your name in pencil Folded underneath the string A crooked map of hidden roads And one unfinished wing [Chorus] If you come back for it I’ll leave the gate unlatched There’s a ladder by the lemon wall And your blue ribbon in the grass If you come back for it We’ll mend the torn white sail Point it past the garden stones And follow where it fails [Verse 2] The neighbors’ little grandson Tried to reach it with a broom He made the branches tremble But the kite refused to move So I tied a note below it With a knot that wouldn’t slip Said, “Some things wait above us Till we learn to loosen grip” [Chorus] If you come back for it I’ll leave the gate unlatched There’s a ladder by the lemon wall And your blue ribbon in the grass If you come back for it We’ll mend the torn white sail Point it past the garden stones And follow where it fails [Bridge] Maybe wind is not a promise Maybe wind is just a door Maybe every lost direction Knows what we are looking for [Final Chorus] When you come back for it The branch may let it go We’ll watch it cross the tiled roofs Then disappear below When you come back for it Bring a spool and bring your hands I’ll draw a little compass rose And you can choose the land [Outro] Red tail in the jacaranda Still turning, still turning
