Paper Boat Paroles

Sing yourself to sleep, sail away on a paper boat
your family portraits and victorious eyes
somebody better love you when I'm gone, I'm gone
somebody better love you oh when I'm gone, when I'm gone
this grandfather clock is still ticking and alarming at midnight
I knew you were a writer by the book on the back of your head
freeze yourself in a photograph, don't smudge your face in the rain
bring water for this thirsty boy
with foreign winters
an old song, I never sang
