Paper Hands - The Nocturnes

We held you

by your paper hands

your crepe paper hands

Sarah and

I both know

you could not stay,

we take.

your ashes.away.

We’ve sailed here,

this cold wave

to find your peace in parting here

to help you make your grave

«Even when I am gone

you know that

my arms are always around you»

You can’t stay

for name sakes

But stand and wait

to take you

«Take me to the ocean’s water

take me to my resting place»

So set sail

this last goodbye

and let the stays come falling

let those hands of paper fly

«Even though I am gone

you know that

my arms are always around you»

«Even when I am gone

you know that

my arms are always around you»
