chinese lanterns

dreamer dreams

blossom springs

colour follows you around

a paper queen

flickering

i hear nothing but the sound

i hope it happens before the candle blows out

before your memories fade

i hope you're ready for when the stars come out

don't be afraid

don't run away

tonight i want to see you

floating on a sea of light

chinese lanterns in the sky

sailing over you and i

chinese lanterns guide us tonight

ocean swell on heaven's stage

a wind that whistles to the tune

broken bell in a hollow cage

i know you'll be back with me soon

you know i'll follow wherever the wind may blow

don't be afraid

don't run away

tonight i want to see you

floating on a sea of light

chinese lanterns in the sky

sailing over you and i

chinese lanterns guide us tonight

as one dancing figurine came sailing into view

i know i saw your face the way you want me to

and then just like in a dream the night burst like the flowers bloom

just for us

floating on a sea of light

chinese lanterns in the sky

sailing over you and i

chinese lanterns guide us tonight
