Lyrics
Paper Sails
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We've been sailing in the ocean
With a compass and it's broken
And it seems we haven't spoken in a while
Our paper sails are ripped and torn
And our will to row is gone
So we'll drift until we see the light of day
Well we woke up hand in hand
With the promise of dry land
It was close enough to fill us with relief
But we've got nowhere to go
And no way to call back home
So it seems we're all alone in this place
Oh it's gonna be a long long night
Oh it's gonna be a long long night
Oh oh oh I will fight for you
Stuck on this island
Every day I see you crying
Baby please know that I'm trying to be brave
I'll build a raft for you
I'll sail into the afternoon
I'll do anything to get you free
Oh it's gonna be a long long night
Oh it's gonna be a long long night
Oh oh oh I will fight for you
