casper allen - paper ships lyrics

Loading...

sail a paper ship, across the ol’ c+n+l
watch it tread the water with a headline on its bow
started out so straight and clear, but it did not make it far
filled up quick, took a nasty dip and then it fell apart

and it’s so long old friend
wish i could have been the one to straighten out your bends
and it’s no use, man, it’s old news
bitter tears to mark the years between us in the end

broke a paperclip, on the letter that you wrote
caught a glimpse of your fingerprint in a smudge at the top of the note
long ago on a county road, oh, i knew this day would come
now i’m chasing down the memories, i take them as they come

and it’s so long, old friend
thread a needle through your arm trying to stitch it back together again
and it’s no use, man, it’s old news
bitter tears to mark the years between us in the end

elevator trips, la county sun
early morning instant coffee, living on the run
old freight train, fiddles, oh, talking on the phone
losing touch for a couple of beers and barely hanging on

man, we sure will miss you, oh, but you ain’t missing much
people tell me new doors open each time the old ones shut
so i’ll cry no more, but, i can’t close the door
folks may say there’s a better way, but i’m not so sure

and it’s so long, old friend
after a while i hope to see your smile if heaven lets me in
and it’s no use, man, it’s old news
bitter tears to mark the years between us in the end
bitter tears for fallen peers who won’t be seen again

so sail a paper ship, across the ol’ c+n+l
watch it tread the water with a headline on its bow
