Paper Boats

Let me lay my weight upon you
Let me sing along the dancing brooks
Let me be the sailor of the sailing boat
Let me cross the channels, let me reach the shores

So please be gentle, kind and true
Let us together begin this voyage
Let us laud the view, the view so large
Where the blue gloriously faces the blue

You can bear the burden of my rue
You can carry my wrath
I can give you direction
I can lead you the path

So please be gentle, kind and true
Let us together begin this voyage
Let us laud the view, the view so large
Where the blue gloriously faces the blue

Isn’t is so baffling and a maxim
That a hole in the heart
Could sink our frames
Could sink below our dreams

So please be gentle, kind and true
Let us together begin this voyage
Let us laud the view, the view so large
Where the blue gloriously faces the blue

You’ve always been with me since childhood,
When my hopes used to float in colourful paper boats;
You would fit in my feathery bantam hands and now I am
Spreading my arms wide and so do you over this colossal seabed.
