Lyrics
eyes wide open
eyes shut closed
vision kaleidoscope
crane mulberry
green and gold
butterfly metamorphose
many colours to the night
many colours past the realm of sight
origami valentine
ever unfolding
love letter
origami valentine
everlasting
origami valentine
lucky dragon
four-pointed star
paper lantern to light the dark
lay it open
find the start
unravel to the very heart
lifetimes to unwind
lifetimes to redesign
am I the shipwright
seeking dimensions
crafting a vessel
sailing for heaven
or only a feather
on the back of a great bird
flying blind-folded
straight to forever
