Canvas Sky and Paper Moon
© 2005 kate laurel smith, kate laurel publishing/ASCAP

I saw your eyes
The spark of starlit skies
And time seemed a desert we would sail

Reaching out our hands
Making angels in the sand
And the best-laid plans that never mean to fail

Balmy nights
Saw our long goodbyes
But innocence held us to the ground

Looking to those skies
Are we angels in disguise
Born to fly and never look back down?

My love, I?ll never
Cease to wonder
At the skies? unending blue
We?re living under
And endless summer
Canvas sky and paper moon

You saw my eyes
Seafoam stormy skies
The darkness and the light becoming one

They were emerald green
The bronze was somewhere in between
The gold of dusk and the burning noonday sun

And we know these desert rains
They will come and they will go
Our skin just a picture frame
Trying hard to hold
An artsy foreign film
Roll the credits at the end
Come on and show me where all the artistry began

My love, I?ll never
Cease to wonder?
