Life in a Paper Boat |
| A boat made of paper, it set sail with me |
| And O, how I’ve grown weary |
| That boat of shame it took me, now I’m far from free |
| And O won’t you stay near me? |
| Hope it blowed eternal |
| There upon the promised land |
| Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand? |
| This bundle that I carry is worth more to me than life |
| And O, how I’ve grown weary |
| There’s only me to hold her now that I’m no more a wife |
| And O won’t you stay near me? |
| Hope it blowed eternal |
| There upon the promised land |
| Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand? |
| An ancient land I’ve left behind, in ruins now lies she |
| And O, how I’ve grown weary |
| I must spell a new life now with walls to keep her free |
| And O won’t you stay near me? |
| Hope it blowed eternal |
| There upon the promised land |
| Will it wither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand? |
| My heart is in my hand now we are on the open sea |
| And O, how I’ve grown weary |
| Thank God, she won’t remember this, whatever it may be |
| And O won’t you stay near me? |
| The orange sun was burning on the boat where we all stand |
| And hope it blowed eternal there upon the promised land |
| Will it whither now or will I feel my feet upon the sand? |
