Paper Prince

Why must you wait
Why must you wait
Why must you wait
For the sky to fall

Your brittle fingers
Your eyes I recall
Your shy heart and
Your stone walls

Why must I wait
When you have
Not called

You never been kissed
Never been kissed
Never been kissed
By the paper prince

You light your fires
Of words on pyres
You'll never be
What your mind desires

You only imagine
What it is that
You have missed

And it's gone
Long, gone
In a fearless hum
Of a lonely song

I am a child
I am a child
I am a child
Of waiting

The tears will fall
Upon my strings
I'll bow my head
And my voice will sing

I never knew
How tightly
I could cling

We never can change
Oh, never can change (Never can change)
Never can change
Or wash the stains

But who am I
To hold the reins
The steed I ride
She has no name

Oo-ooo-ooo-ooh

And it's gone
Long, gone
In a fearless hum
Of a lonely song

Oh, no one will know
No one will know
No one will know
How the end
Of it goes

The story, that has
Already been told
Our eyes were closed
The rhythm and prose

We will wake as
The last line
Closes

And it's gone
Long, gone
In a fearless hum

Yes, it's gone
Long, gone
In a fearless hum

Yes, it's gone
Long, gone
In a fearless hum
Of a lonely song
