Gillian Welch - Paper Wings

Текст песни

Paper wings, all torn and bent
You made me feel like they were heaven-sent
Paper wings, not real at all
They took me high enough to really fall
Your paper kisses faded too soon
Just like a paper rose beneath a paper moon
Paper wings, paper wings
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
Paper wings, paper wings
Oh how could I expect to fly
With only paper wings
I tried to fly
But found that I
Had only paper wings
