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
