[Verse 1] I found a bench by the park Eyes up in the morning blue One cloud looked like a bakery One cloud looked like me and you A rabbit with a tilted ear A ship with a crooked sail I kept a list in my pocket Of every shape the day would tell [Pre-Chorus] Drift by drift They come apart Then one more face Draws a little heart [Chorus] Paper sky parade Paper sky parade I follow where they go Paper sky parade Paper sky parade And nobody says no (oh-oh) I make a little world (oh-oh) Out of the drifting curls [Verse 2] There was a fox in a top hat There was a fish in a crown There was a ladder to nowhere Leaning softly down A dragon made of cotton A train with a silver nose I laughed when the wind reshaped them Like it knew the way stories grow [Pre-Chorus] Drift by drift They come apart Then one more face Draws a little heart [Chorus] Paper sky parade Paper sky parade I follow where they go Paper sky parade Paper sky parade And nobody says no (oh-oh) I make a little world (oh-oh) Out of the drifting curls [Bridge] For a minute, I forgot What was late and what was due Just me and a sky full of answers Never saying what was true Then a tower turned to a dolphin Then a castle lost its name I stayed until the colors faded Still grinning at the game [Final Chorus] Paper sky parade Paper sky parade I follow where they go Paper sky parade Paper sky parade And nobody says no (oh-oh) I make a little world (oh-oh) Out of the drifting curls Paper sky parade Paper sky parade Till the last cloud drifts away
