Paper Boat (Bob Harris BBC Session)

(Stephen Duffy)

You think everyone’s the one

You trust them to let you down

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

Sail paper boat

Tell me what you know

I don’t know that much

When you leave you leave

You never keep in touch

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

Sail paper boat

Sail paper boat
