Paper Airplanes

I'm a man who has lived my life alone.

In seclusion, confusion, I'm dying, all I wanted was a

son.

I would take him on my knee, hold him close to me.

Provide protection, direction, I'd love him, all I wanted

was a son.

Well I'd take him to the zoo to see the animals.

And I'd buy him lollipops in Summertime.

And I'd make him paper airplanes, take him to the movies

And give him a quarter when he asked for a dime.

I'm a man who has dreamed my whole life away

The day she left me only kept me

From giving something living

For the world to remember me.
