Rites ancient paper wings lyrics

one last thing i beg you please just before you go

i've watched you fly on paper wings half way round the world

until they burned up in the atmosphere and sent you spiraling down

landed somewhere far from here with no one else around

to catch you falling down

and i'm looking at you now



and i cant tell if you're laughing

between each smile theres a tear in your eye

theres a train leaving town in an hour

its not waiting for you and neither am i



swing for the fences son

he must have told you once

that was a conversation you took nothing from

so raise your glass now and celebrate excatly what you've done

just put off another day of knowing where your from

catch up with yourself if you run



and i cant tell if you're laughing

between each smile theres a tear in your eye

theres a train leaving town in an hour

its not waiting for you and neither am i



is this the life that you lead?

or the life thats left for you?

will you take the road thats been laid out before you

will we cross pathes somewhere else tonight? somewhere else....



and i cant tell if you're laughing

between each smile theres a tear in your eye

theres a train leaving town in an hour

its not waiting for you and neither am i
