Simone’s Sleeve of Wizard

Låttext

[Verse 1] Simone found a sleeve in the back of a drawer Blue thread, brass buttons, a moon stitched near the cuff She wore it to the corner store in pouring rain And came back with a pocket full of paper stars [Pre-Chorus] She said, “Don’t ask where they came from” Then laughed and let one go [Chorus] Simone’s sleeve of wizard Full of small impossible things A bent key, a paper planet And a song she never sings When the whole day comes undone She pulls a wonder from the seam Simone’s sleeve of wizard Keeps a little room to dream [Verse 2] The landlord left a note beneath the door The kettle quit, the bus went by without us She shook that sleeve and out came one red button We pinned it to the coat that lost its cuff [Pre-Chorus] She said, “It isn’t magic” But the hallway smelled like rain [Chorus] Simone’s sleeve of wizard Full of small impossible things A bent key, a paper planet And a song she never sings When the whole day comes undone She pulls a wonder from the seam Simone’s sleeve of wizard Keeps a little room to dream [Bridge] No grand spell, no velvet cape Just her hand against the frayed edge She saves the things we almost lose And makes them useful again [Final Chorus] Simone’s sleeve of wizard Full of small impossible things A bent key, a paper planet And a song we start to sing When the whole day comes undone She pulls a wonder from the seam Simone’s sleeve of wizard Keeps a little room to dream [Outro] One red button, one paper star And enough room for who we are
