Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paper lanterns sway
Through misty midnight rain
Your silhouette fades away
Like petals down the drain
[Pre-chorus]
Dancing through the district
Painted patterns play
(Patterns play, patterns play)
[Chorus]
Motion in the midnight
Moments slip away
Colors catch your smile
As you slowly fade away
(Slowly fade)
[Verse 2]
Sweet scented steam rises
From vendors in the rain
Your voice a distant melody
Lost in passing trains
[Temple bells ring softly]
[Pre-chorus]
Dancing through the district
Time begins to sway
(Time to sway, time to sway)
[Chorus]
Motion in the midnight
Moments slip away
Colors catch your smile
As you slowly fade away
(Slowly fade)
[Bridge]
[Crowd sounds fade in]
Lanterns float like fireflies
Through the gentle rain
Ancient meets the future here
Where past and present play
[Saxophone solo]
[Final Chorus]
Motion in the midnight
(Motion in the midnight)
Moments slip away
(Slip away)
Colors catch your smile
As you slowly fade away
(Slowly fade away)
