Chinese Lanterns - A Silent Film

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
