Paper Lantern Songtext
von Sarah June

When I grow old will I braid my hair
Or will it be curls and white?
Will my voice shake like a paper lantern in the wind
Or will I just sigh?
Will I sit in an ivy garden or in a room up high?
Will I still wear my mother′s locket
With a picture of my father inside?

She dreamed in black and white
She dreamed in black and white
She dreamed in black and white
She dreamed in black and white


When I grow old will I sleep with the light on
Or will darkness finally be kind?
Or will I sleep with the TV on
Bathed in its flickering light?
Will I sit in an ivy garden or in a room up high?
Will I still wear my mother's locket
With a picture of my father inside?

Will I dream in black and white?
Will I dream in black and white?
Will I dream in black and white?
Will I dream in black and white?
Will I dream in black and white?

When I grow old will I braid my hair
Or will it be curls and white?
Will my voice shake like a paper lantern
Or will I just sigh?
