Paper Dolls

from Jawhorse by Highway Battery

/

lyrics

Cover my bare walls with
Your silhouette on paper dolls
As all the voices sing along
To this song in my head
And I
Know I've written too many songs of you
But even as years pass the time
You're somehow on my mind so

I close my eyes
As the wind rolls by
Hum myself a little tune
That reminds me of you

As sunlight's creeping through
Your window into view
I hit the road and I travel far
To play my brand of blues
And when a thousand miles or two
Have passed in my rear view
I lay my head on a pillow and
Still hear the rain on your tin roof So

I close my eyes
Picture waves rolling by
Think back to that summer with you
And write a lullaby

When the skies are gray and
The trees leaves are all aflame
I pray your emerald eyes are seeing better days
Before I turn the page and
Just let those memory fade
I sit down with a four track
Hit record
And let it play

I close my eyes
Turn my tube amp on
I'll just keep on writing songs as
You keep on moving on
