Paper Ships

Paper Ships - Dead Man's Bones/The Silverlake Conservatory of Music Youth Chorale

Sailed on a ship of paper

And I sank in the deep of your eyes

I got lost in your graveyard

Now I dream on a bed of knives

I found the map to your maps

I lost the shores for you

But now I'll never get back

'Cause I'm a ghost ship on the blue

Now I hold my poems

For ladies unknown

Until my hands go weak

I'll be a ghost ship on the blue

Birds are in the sky

The land's been gone for days

And all you left was time

To find a solid grave

Pirates never loved

The way that I do

You never said enough

To keep me next to you

Now I hold my poems

For ladies unknown

Until my hands go weak

I'll be a ghost ship on the blue
