Paperthin Hymn

When your only friends are hotel rooms

Hands are distant lullabies

If I could turn around I would tonight

These roads never seemed so long

Since your paper heart stopped beating leaving me suddenly alone

Will daybreak ever come?

Who’s gonna call on Sunday morning?

Who’s gonna drive you home?

I just want one more chance

To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever

Over and over

A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head

Over and over

Complaints of violins become my only friends

August evenings

Bring solemn warnings to remember

To kiss the ones you love goodnight

You never know what temporal days may bring

Laugh, love, live free and sing

When life is in discord

Praise ye the lord

Who’s gonna call on Sunday morning?

Who’s gonna drive you home?

I just want one more chance

To put my arms in fragile hands

I thought you said forever

Over and over

The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head

Over and over

Complaints of violins become my only friends

Friends

Whoa-oh-oh-whoa-oh-oh

I thought you said forever

Over and over

The sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head

Over and over

Complaints of violins become my only

I thought you said forever

Over and over

These thoughts run through my head
