The Lilac Time Lyrics
"Paper Boat"

You think everyones the one
You trust them to let you down
Now you're lying on the floor
In this go and get up town

You sail a paper boat on an inky sea
Still you don't know why you're alone

You left him to be free
But freedom has a price
By loving him you died
By leaving you died twice

You sail a paper boat on an inky sea
Still you don't know why you're alone

Blow, don't blow the candle out
No, you'll need it to see
Through the murky hours
Till you sleep

Tell me what you know
I don't know that much
Just when you leave you leave
You never keep in touch

You sail a paper boat on an inky sea
But still you don't know why you're alone
