Paper Prince - Della Mae

Why must you wait?

Why must you wait?

Why must you wait for the sky to fall?

Your brittle fingers, your eyes I recall

your shy heart and your stone walls,

why must I wait when you have not called?

You’ve never been kissed,

never been kissed

never been kissed by the paper prince

you light your fires of words on pyres

you’ll never be what your mind desires

you only imagine what it is that you have missed

And its gone long gone

in the fearless hum,

of a lonely song

I am a child,

I am a child

I am a child of waiting

the tears will fall upon my strings,

I’ll bow my head and my voice will sing

I never knew how tightly I could cling

we never can change

never can change

never can change or wash the stains

but who am I to hold the reigns?

The stead I ride she has no name

And its gone long gone

in the fearless hum

of a lonely song

No one will know

no one will know

no one will know how the end of it goes

the story that has already been told

our eyes were closed through the rhythm and prose

we will wake as the last line closes

And its gone long gone

in the fearless hum

of a lonely song
