Paper lantern sky

[Title: Paper Lantern Sky] [Vocal Style] Soft double-tracked male vocals, intimate and dreamy. Gentle Lennon-inspired phrasing without imitation. Breathy verses, floating harmonies, layered choruses. Slightly detached dream-state delivery. [Verse 1] I found a paper lantern sky hanging where the sparrows hide the clouds were painted upside down and nobody seemed surprised The clock was growing apple leaves the river hummed in blue I asked the morning where it goes it only pointed through [Pre-Chorus] And all the little signals were dancing in the rain [Chorus] Take me where the colors sleep underneath the turning sea every shadow knows my name every door remembers me Take me where the seasons drift through a slowly melting dream nothing's ever quite the way that it first appeared to be [Verse 2] A carousel of silver birds was circling the moon they carried pieces of a song that vanished far too soon The pavement bloomed with tiny stars the night forgot its role the city floated from the ground like laughter from a soul [Pre-Chorus] And all the little signals were dancing in the rain [Chorus] Take me where the colors sleep underneath the turning sea every shadow knows my name every door remembers me Take me where the seasons drift through a slowly melting dream nothing's ever quite the way that it first appeared to be [Bridge] Close your eyes the sky unfolds a thousand gardens made of gold Far away yet close enough to touch the echoes drifting up [Instrumental] Mellotron flutes, reverse guitars, celeste, chamber strings [Final Chorus] Take me where the colors sleep underneath the turning sea every shadow knows my name every door remembers me Take me where the seasons drift through a slowly melting dream nothing's ever quite the way that it first appeared to be [Outro] Paper lantern sky... carry me... carry me...
