Track Insight / Lyrics

Winter cracked the cobblestone I folded up a letter home The crease was sharp, the wing was wide I threw it past the gutter side It landed near the iron gate Where Mrs. Adler used to wait Paper wings above the alleyway Carry all the words I couldn't say Paper wings, a child's only prayer Sailing through the cold December air My breath was clouding up the glass I watched the little vessel pass It skimmed the ice beside the drain Then lifted up and flew again I counted every step I took The way I'd memorized the book Paper wings above the alleyway Carry all the words I couldn't say Paper wings, a child's only prayer Sailing through the cold December air The choir practice let me go I hummed the alto line so low The snow had hushed the market street My boots were heavy with the sleet I know the storm is almost through The sky is washed in palest blue I'll keep on counting past the gate For someone who will not be late Paper wings above the alleyway Carry all the words I couldn't say Paper wings, a child's only prayer Sailing through the cold December air The chimney smoke was thin and gray I tucked my mittens both away I found it resting by the wall A crumpled ship, a paper fall Paper wings above the alleyway Carry all the words I couldn't say Paper wings, a child's only prayer Sailing through the cold December air Sailing through the cold December air Count the steps to seven Watch it sail through frozen air
