Paperthin Hymn

Album: Never Take Friendship Personal (2005)

  • When your only friends are hotel rooms
    Hands are distant lullabies
    If I could turn around I would tonight

    These roads never seemed so long
    Since your paper heart start beating leaving me suddenly alone
    Will daybreak ever come?

    Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
    Who's gonna drive you home?
    I just want one more chance
    To put my arms in fragile hands

    I thought you said forever
    Over and over
    A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

    These thoughts run through my head
    Over and over
    Complaints of violins become my only friends

    August evenings
    Bring solemn warnings
    To remember to kiss the ones you love goodnight

    You never know what temporal days may bring
    So laugh, love, live free and sing
    When life is in discord
    Praise ye the lord

    Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?
    Who's gonna drive you home?
    I just want one more chance
    To put my arms in fragile hands

    I thought you said forever
    Over and over
    The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

    These thoughts run through my head
    Over and over
    Complaints of violins become my only friends

    I thought you said forever
    Over and over
    The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

    These thoughts run through my head
    Over and over
    Complaints of violins become my only friends

    I thought you said forever
    Over and over
    These thoughts run through my head Writer/s: Deon Rexroat, Joseph Milligan, Nathan Young, Stephen Arnold
