Lyrics
[Verse 1] You keep a paper moon Inside your coat pocket It folds beside a train ticket And a button from June At every corner shop You ask the clocks their names They point toward different hours Then forget the game [Chorus] Come walk the long way home with me Past gardens on the roofs Where tiny rooms of honeybees Make golden afternoon No map can hold the road we find No sign can make it stay Your paper moon, my wandering mind And one unhurried day [Verse 2] A sparrow on the fence Has borrowed someone's thread It stitches up the morning With a bright blue end You laugh and raise your sleeve To catch the loose design The whole wide town grows lighter For a little while [Chorus] Come walk the long way home with me Past gardens on the roofs Where tiny rooms of honeybees Make golden afternoon No map can hold the road we find No sign can make it stay Your paper moon, my wandering mind And one unhurried day [Bridge] When evening folds the laundry sky And windows settle into gold I'll leave a place beside my side For every tale untold [Outro] Keep that paper moon I'll follow where it sways Your pocket full of small surprises Guiding us through days
