Paper Prince |
Why must you wait? |
Why must you wait? |
Why must you wait for the sky to fall? |
Your brittle fingers, your eyes I recall |
your shy heart and your stone walls, |
why must I wait when you have not called? |
You’ve never been kissed, |
never been kissed |
never been kissed by the paper prince |
you light your fires of words on pyres |
you’ll never be what your mind desires |
you only imagine what it is that you have missed |
And its gone long gone |
in the fearless hum, |
of a lonely song |
I am a child, |
I am a child |
I am a child of waiting |
the tears will fall upon my strings, |
I’ll bow my head and my voice will sing |
I never knew how tightly I could cling |
we never can change |
never can change |
never can change or wash the stains |
but who am I to hold the reigns? |
The stead I ride she has no name |
And its gone long gone |
in the fearless hum |
of a lonely song |
No one will know |
no one will know |
no one will know how the end of it goes |
the story that has already been told |
our eyes were closed through the rhythm and prose |
we will wake as the last line closes |
And its gone long gone |
in the fearless hum |
of a lonely song |
