Paper House Lyrics

We landed our heavy hearts
motors with broken parts
we had a deck of cards
it was a start
We'd sit out in the sun
and wait for our skin to turn
you would ask for truth
and I'd look for something to burn

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then
on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June
Oh, to live in a paper house again
where we grew by the light of the moon, oh

Often we took the train
the sky pacing white to gray
when you or I would leave
and the other would stay
And we were all that we had
and breathed in each others words
I would ask for truth
and you'd look for something to burn

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then
on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June
Oh, to live in a paper house again
where we grew by the light of the moon
You were much younger then
younger than I am now
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow

Oh, we walked in a hallowed place back then
on the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June
Oh, to live in a paper house again
where we grew by the light of the moon

Oh, you know what you are to me
and you know you will always be
