lyrics

We walked along the paper street and sang to the moon
And stood beneath a billboard saying see you soon
To dance I wore my favourite iridescent shoes
And sold my winter coat for a banjo and the blues

Your dulcet tone and tenor told me tremble dear
You think you’re close to something but you’re not that near
The bed in which you sleep is not safe when you dream
And all the things you love are never what they seem

All the golden coins the callers gave to me
They vanished as the daytime caused the dark to flee
And all the silver starlight that lit up my way
It faded as the sun came up, turned silver into grey

One thousand paper cranes I loosed upon the waves
They sank beneath the surface to their watery graves
All the wishes that I made on falling flame
They burned themselves out long before I made my claim

All the golden coins the callers gave to me
They vanished as the daytime caused the dark to flee
And all the silver starlight that lit up my way
It faded as the sun came up, turned silver into grey

All the golden coins the callers gave to me
(We walked along a paper street and sang to the moon)
They vanished as the daytime caused the dark to flee
(You think you're close to something but your not that near)
And all the silver starlight that lit up my way
(To dance I wore my favourite iridescent shoes)
It faded as the sun came up, turned silver into grey
(And all the things you love are never what they seem)
