Robin Jackson - Paper Bird lyrics

I plant stories on paper ships and send them out to sea drift Each one holds a part of the story of our hearts Inky vessels of sweet remembering One last trip and then descending Paper bird your wings are light Carry hardship out of sight Salty moonshine, morning bell Fly these troubles away across the swell August introduced us, 
December came between Tales never told, 
rust gathered on the gold The months, they never really knew The state of things below the blue The mussels wait with patience These tales, bitter like ocean wine Tears of past and anchors cast Soon mixed within the brine Paper bird your wings are light Carry hardship out of sight Salty moonshine, morning bell Fly these troubles away across the swell Lay your axe down by the spring Listen to the starbirds sing The sweetest sound I ever heard Fly away oh paper bird And now the bird she flies beneath Frosty snow capped cries, gusty clouds Of grey watch as I cast words away Release this heart from bygone pain And welcome sunrise once again
