Rice Paper Wings

[Verse 1]
That's how she flies
In bright saffron dreams
'Cross harlequin skies
On rice paper wings

[Verse 2]
She lassos the moon
Brush, pallets, and paints
Clutters her room with
God, angels, and saints

[Chorus]
Thieves here to steal her thunder
Crowding her world of wonder
I fear they've got her number

[Verse 3]
And here's what she needs
Swings, ladders, and slides
Doors in the trees
Stars in her eyes

[Verse 4]
A song for the queen
Curtsies and bows
Castles and kings
A head in the clouds

[Chorus]
Thieves here to steal her thunder
Crowding her world of wonder
I fear they've got her number

[Verse 1]
But that's how she flies
In bright saffron dreams
'Cross harlequin skies
On rice paper wings
