lyrics

I wonder what’s become of all your cardboard paper dolls and clothes
And if you still have all your gold stars

That once shown bright
That fade at night
And drift from sight
Are you all right?

You hurry on; you have so little time; the background noise is loud
But in between I’m hearing your voice

It’s still so bright
Even at night
Far out of sight
You’ll be all right

This is absolutely beautiful! I am so happy the Under the Bridge releases led me down this road. It's unexpectedly spacious and just makes me happy! It's very hard to pick a favorite and I will not be skipping tracks as I play through this repeatedly. zq9mare1
