[Verse 1]
Grass stains on my hands from walking early
Coffee brewing somewhere out of sight
Windows glowing, someone humming softly
Long shadows stretching toward the fading night

[Pre-Chorus]
Paper birds above my head
Swinging gently on a string
Fold your wishes as you said
Let the morning softly sing

[Chorus]
Oh, the painted moon hangs golden in the morning
Quiet shoes are shuffling down the lane
Crickets sing in smoky summer yawnin'
Another day will never come this way again

[Post-Chorus]
La la la, oh la la la
La la la, oh la la la

[Verse 2]
Buttons missing on my jacket, sky is crying
Neighbors gossip softly through the fence
Every stone remembers all the lying
Children trading pennies for some sense

[Pre-Chorus]
Light caught between the leaves
And the sweet breeze cannot stay
Settle words you can't believe
Let your secrets fly away

[Chorus]
Oh, the painted moon hangs golden in the morning
Quiet shoes are shuffling down the lane
Crickets sing in smoky summer yawnin'
Another day will never come this way again

[Post-Chorus]
La la la, oh la la la
La la la, oh la la la
