Paper Lanterns in the Blizzard

​(Intro)
(Deep, low-end bass hum—very soft)
(The sound of wind chimes muffled by snow)
(A slow, lonely Rhodes piano melody begins)
​(Verse 1)
The world is a ghost in a coat of white
Fading away in the middle of the night
I’m watching the lanterns swing in the wind
Where the sky ends and the earth begins
No colors left, just shades of pale
A quiet ship in a frozen gale.
​(Chorus)
Lost in the rhythm of the falling ice
Everything’s perfect, everything’s nice
In the middle of the storm, I found a spark
A little bit of light in the deep of the dark
Let the blizzard wrap around my soul
Keeping me steady, keeping me whole.
​(Bridge - Spoken with a slight echo)
"It's funny...
how the loudest storm
can bring the deepest silence.
Just listen...
to nothing at all."
​(Verse 2)
My breath on the glass is a cloud of gray
Watching the memories drift away
The road is gone, the tracks are filled
Every restless thought is finally stilled
Safe inside this cathedral of glass
Watching the winter shadows pass.
​(Outro)
(The piano melody slows down even more)
(Sound of a distant train whistle—very faint)
Just a spark...
In the white...
In the dark...
Let it fall
