Lyric

In the moss-green hush of dusk

You leave a ribbon in my book

Pressed between the velvet lines

A tiny door I mistook

Your apron holds the cedar scent

Your shoes are damp with fern and rain

You mark the page, then turn to me

And smile like you know my name

Oh, the lanterns bend and glow

When your fingers touch the page

Even lost things start to sing

In your tender little wake

The bookmark fairy smiles

Bookmark fairy smiles

She keeps my moonlit miles

Bookmark fairy smiles

One page, then I'm found

One tiny spell unbound

The bookmark fairy smiles

And the whole room leans around

You tuck a leaf behind the thread

A silver plum, a feathered line

I read by tea and window glass

And borrow your small design

The wolves are only jacket sleeves

The dark is just the fire's breath

But when you grin above the book

It feels like nothing ends in death

Oh, the story knows my hand

Like a glove made just for me

And every word you lightly touch

Turns to gold without a plea

The bookmark fairy smiles

Bookmark fairy smiles

She keeps my moonlit miles

Bookmark fairy smiles

One page, then I'm found

One tiny spell unbound

The bookmark fairy smiles

And the whole room leans around

Stay a minute by the lamp

Let the clarinet unwind

I don't need a grand adventure

Just your patience, page by page behind

The bookmark fairy smiles

Bookmark fairy smiles

She keeps my moonlit miles

Bookmark fairy smiles

One page, then I'm found

One tiny spell unbound

The bookmark fairy smiles

And the whole room leans around
