Paper Sailboat Lyrics

i wrote a letter, i'll send it downstream

i hope the ink doesn't bleed too much

i hope that you get to read it, love

someday



i'll fold it up into a paper sailboat

and send it off with a wave and a kiss

and i will sit on the bank like this

waiting



if i could i would make time go backwards

the river would run upstream

and everything i've lost would come back

floating



i go for walks sunday afternoons

there's a path in the woods i take

there's a sweet sound the trees make

when the wind blows



i pick up sticks, i take them home

and when you answer my note sweetheart

i'll build a real boat and depart

where the water flows



if i could i would make time go backwards

the river would run upstream

and everything i've lost would come back

floating



i wrote a letter, i'll send it downstream

i hope the ink doesn't bleed too much

i hope that you get to read it, love

someday
