Burning Paper Songtext
von The Folk Implosion

I wrote you a letter, but I threw it away
I knew I would, I would if I waited a day
It made me feel better, what I had to say
I knew it would, it did, but I waited

I hardly bothered, though I labored all day
I work so hard, there′s no time left to please you
The day I decided I had nothing to say, I'll never learn
I′m burning all this paper away

A rhythm in your walking tree
It's a tapestry of pride you're weaving
Over, under, ropes of wonder tie me to a chair
I′m dirty feet on your clean white shoes
I′m the man of the mess that greets you
Been graced with a slap in the face, tangled in your hair


I think it's time you let me go
I′m too in love, let me go
I think it's time you let me go
I′m too in love
I think it's time you let me go
I′m too in love, let me go

A rhythm and you're walking true
It's a tapestry of pride you′re weaving
Over, under, ropes of wonder, tie me to a chair
I′m dirty feet on your clean white shoes
I'm the man of the mess that greets you
Been graced with a slap in the face, tangled in your hair

I wrote you a letter, but I threw it away
I knew I would, I would if I waited a day
It made me feel better, but I have to say
I′ll never learn, I'm burning all this paper away

I′m burning all this paper away
I'm burning all this paper
