brown paper lyrics

 
There’s Blue Paper on the Bedroom floor
And white paper on the desk.
A torn and tattered envelope
And you’re words are on my breath
 
As I sit here pen is poised,
All I hear in my head is you’re voice.
“Look at this letter 2 years too late” or,
“I knew he’d come round it must be fate”.
 
I know you, I know you
I know you, I know you
 
Recycled Sheet, indelibly stained.
Billboard instants to show to your friends.
Brown paper contracts heart art framed.
Shilling taken commit or be shamed.
 
Imagined line is drawn in the sand,
By the fingers of your past life’s hand.
Small stamp scribbles, carelessly tossed,
Foolscap feeling tempting across.
