gillian welch
paper wings
all torn and bent
you made me feel like
they were heaven sent
not real at all
they took me high
enough to really fall
your paper kisses faded too soon
just like a paper rose
'neath a paper moon
oh
how could i expect
to fly with only paper wings?
angels were singing
didn't you hear?
if only i'd listened close
when they whispered in my ear
i tried to fly but found
that i had only paper wings
