Paper Wings

One last thing I beg you please Just before you go I've watched you fly your paper wings Halfway around the world until they Burned up in the atmosphere Sent you spiraling down Landing somewhere far from here with no one else around To catch you falling down And I'm looking at you now And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour It's not waiting for you and neither am I "Swing for the fences, son" He must have told you once But that was a conversation You took nothing from, so raise your Glass now, let's celebrate, exactly what you've done Just put off another day of knowing where you're from You can catch up with yourself If you run And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour It's not waiting for you and neither am I Is this the life that you lead, or the life that's lead for you? Will you take the road that's been laid out before you? Will we cross paths somewhere else tonight? Somewhere else tonight And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour It's not waiting for you and neither am I And I can't tell if you're laughing Between each smile there's a tear in your eye There's a train leaving town in an hour It's not waiting for you and neither am I
