Paper Boats on Silver Water (Version 2)

Intro

Cradle me on your shoulder bone

Let the wind carry us home

Verse

You're skipping with a lantern bright

I'm waddling behind, keeping pace tonight

Your laughter echoes through the trees

We'll find our magic in the breeze

Pre-Chorus

Hold my hand a little tighter now

The moon is shining right above us somehow

Chorus

Paper boats on silver water, sailing all around

Paper boats on silver water, drifting without sound

You're skipping with a lantern bright

I'm waddling behind, keeping pace tonight

We'll chase the sun across the stream

And our shadows will be the dream

Verse

You pick a flower from its stem so fine

I try to follow, but it floats like mine

The world is full of wonder and you lead the way

Every step we take brings us closer to May

Pre-Chorus

Hold my hand a little tighter now

The moon is shining right above us somehow

Chorus

Paper boats on silver water, sailing all around

Paper boats on silver water, drifting without sound

You're skipping with a lantern bright

I'm waddling behind, keeping pace tonight

We'll chase the sun across the stream

And our shadows will be the dream

Bridge

Sometimes I feel like we’re not in time

But then you smile and I know it’s just sublime

No need to hurry when the stars are high

Every moment with you is a work of art that catches my eye

Chorus

Paper boats on silver water, sailing all around

Paper boats on silver water, drifting without sound

You're skipping with a lantern bright

I'm waddling behind, keeping pace tonight

We'll chase the sun across the stream

And our shadows will be the dream

Outro

Silver water whispers take me home

The moon still shines upon your shoulder bone
