Paper Bird Songtext
von Robin Jackson

I plant stories on paper ships and send them out to sea drift
Each one holds a part of the story of our hearts
Inky vessels of sweet remembering
One last trip and then descending

Paper bird your wings are light
Carry hardship out of sight
Salty moonshine, morning bell
Fly these troubles away across the swell

August introduced us, December came between
Tales never told, rust gathered on the gold
How′s the months, they never really knew
The state of things below the blue

The mussels wait with patience
These tales, bitter like ocean wine
Tears of past and anchors cast
Soon mixed within the brine
Ooh, ooh


Paper bird your wings are light
Carry hardship out of sight
Salty moonshine, morning bell
Fly these troubles away across the swell
Lay your axe down by the spring
Listen to the starbirds sing
The sweetest sound I ever heard
Fly away oh paper bird

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah, ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ahh

And now the bird she flies beneath frosty snow capped cries
Gusty clouds of grey watch as I cast words away
Release this heart from bygone pain
Welcome sunrise once again

Ooh, paper bird your wings are light
Carry hardship out of sight
Salty moonshine, morning bell
Fly these troubles away across the swell
Lay your axe down by the spring
Listen to the starbirds sing
The sweetest sound I ever heard
Fly away oh paper bird


Paper bird your wings are light
Carry hardship out of sight
Salty moonshine, morning bell
Fly these troubles away across the swell
Lay your axe down by the spring
Listen to the starbirds sing
The sweetest sound I ever heard
Fly away oh paper bird
