VERSE
Paper Boat
Belle & Sebastian
I think it's going to be all right
I think it's going to be just fine
I think it's going to get much better than before
I think we're going to see the sun
I think we're going to have some fun,
I think we're going walk out through the open door
And maybe when we wake up in the morning
Maybe when the darkness starts to fade
Maybe in a paper boat we'll both just float away
Underneath the river trees
Off towards a lazy sea
Underneath the bridge that carries people home
Past the church where Jesus saves
Up and down upon the waves
Sailing off towards adventures of our own
Maybe when we wake up in the morning,
Maybe when the darkness starts to fade
Maybe in a paper boat we'll both just float away
Maybe when we wake up in the morning,
Maybe when the trumpet starts to play
Maybe in a paper boat we'll both just float away
(Trumpety bit)
I think it's going to be good fun.
