Paper Moon

JoseAlban

I found your name
On a folded note
In my coat pocket
From the winter road

Your red marker line
On the back of a receipt
Said call me back
When the world feels too steep

I kept it by the sink
By the chipped blue plate
It held my hand
On the hard days

Paper Moon, paper Moon
Still you glow
Paper Moon, paper Moon
In the cold
Fold me back
Where you went
Paper Moon, paper Moon
Stay again

Now the bus hums past
That little corner store
Your laugh hits me
Like a screen door

I wear that note
Like a lucky chain
Creased and torn
But it knows my name

If I lose my way
In the rain and noise
I read those words
And I hear your voice

Paper Moon, paper Moon
Still you glow
Paper Moon, paper Moon
In the cold
Fold me back
Where you went
Paper Moon, paper Moon
Stay again

When the night gets thin
And the room turns gray
I hold that scrap
Till it leads me home

Paper Moon, paper Moon
Still you glow
Paper Moon, paper Moon
In the cold
Fold me back
Where you went
Paper Moon, paper Moon
Stay again

Paper Moon, paper Moon
Don't let go
