[:] Fold the edges of the paper, tracing out the light,
[:] A pastel sky on cardboard, against the velvet night.
[:] I paint a little moon there, a sliver and a spark,
[:] A lantern for the journey, a guide across the dark.
[:] (A lantern for the dark...)
[[C2]]
[:] This is my paper moon postcard, a wish across the sea,
[:] Holding everything I never said, a quiet part of me.
[:] I'll put it in a shoebox, with the ribbons and the lace,
[:] A beautiful collection from a secret, quiet place.
[:] (A secret, quiet place...)
[[B3]]
[:] The ink is dry and faded, on stories never sent,
[:] A thousand pretty wishes, that I don't know where they went.
[:] The stamps are left uncancelled, the addresses are blank,
[:] Like little paper ships that quietly and gently sank.
[:] (That quietly and gently sank...)
[[C4]]
[:] This is my paper moon postcard, a wish across the sea,
[:] Holding everything I never said, a quiet part of me.
[:] I'll put it in a shoebox, with the ribbons and the lace,
[:] A beautiful collection from a secret, quiet place.
[:] (A secret, quiet place...)

[:] So let the ink dry, on everything that's left,
[:] The stories that we told, the promises kept.
[:] Goodnight, little moon.
[:] Goodnight.
[:] (Mmm...)
[:] (Ah...)
