Paper Wings - Gillian Welch
Paper wings all torn and bent
You made me feel that 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
