Lyrics to Paper Moon

Paper moon

Why do you shine so softly bright

Swallowing the rays of light

And holding them over the night

Paper moon

When will your cool light fall

Forgiving anything at all

Even the darkness swelling

So as the day grows cold and dull

Your eyes fragile beckon to all

The lovers who howl up to you

Paper moon

Cut out of my heart

Cut out of my heart

Paper heart

Cut out of pain and sorrow

With nothing left but hollows

Where wings once beat like a drum

Paper moon

Mysterious and lonely

I gather your light to me

As comfort for my paper heart

So as the day grows cold and dull

Your eyes fragile beckon to all

The lovers who howl up to you

Paper moon

Cut out of my heart

Cut out of my heart

Cut out of my heart

Cut out of my heart

Paper moon

Why do you shine so softly bright

Swallowing the rays of light

And holding them over the night
