Cold brick street in autumn gold
Stories that the city hold
I walk fast with lens in hand
Stranger in a concrete land
Grey wind bites my thin wool coat
Dry throat holds a jagged note
Looking down at cracks in stone
Walking this old town alone
Can you hear the paper plane
Humming low beneath the rain
Hiding under Boston clay
Waiting for a sunny day
Humming low, humming low
Red leaves spin on Common ground
Heavy boots a hollow sound
I snap shots of rusted gates
Counting down the lonely dates
Grey wind bites my thin wool coat
Dry throat holds a jagged note
Looking down at cracks in stone
Walking this old town alone
Can you hear the paper plane
Humming low beneath the rain
Hiding under Boston clay
Waiting for a sunny day
Humming low, humming low
Folded white and tucked away
Lost since some forgotten May
Tucked inside a sewer grate
Small white ghost and heavy weight
Steel and glass and iron bars
Distant hum of midnight cars
But a child's wing beats the beat
Deep below the frozen street
Can you hear the paper plane
Humming low beneath the rain
Hiding under Boston clay
Waiting for a sunny day
Humming low, humming low
I crouch down to see the white
Catching one last sliver light
Small magic in the dirty grit
Found the spark and then I lit
Can you hear the paper plane
Humming low beneath the rain
Hiding under Boston clay
Waiting for a sunny day
Humming low, humming low
Just a fold of paper white.
Keep it in the frame.
Humming low.
