[Куплет 1] I kept your old note In a blue tin box Under the loose board By the garden gate Your sweater still hangs On the back of my chair Like you might come in And take it away [Алдынғы қайырма] I trace the crease Where your name used to be And the room goes soft When it remembers me [Қайырма] Paper boats, paper boats Drift back to me Paper boats, paper boats On a quiet sea If you still call my name I will follow the sound Paper boats, paper boats Please don’t let me drown [Куплет 2] The kettle makes steam In a patient way Your cup by the sink Has a hairline crack I smile at the ache Like it knows my face A little less whole When i look back [Алдынғы қайырма] I keep the light low For the ghosts that stay And i hear your laugh From a room away [Қайырма] Paper boats, paper boats Drift back to me Paper boats, paper boats On a quiet sea If you still call my name I will follow the sound Paper boats, paper boats Please don’t let me drown [Көпір] I was not built For this slow goodbye For the porch step creak And the winter sky But your memory blooms In the unswept dust So i fold it small And i carry us [Қайырма] Paper boats, paper boats Drift back to me Paper boats, paper boats On a quiet sea If you still call my name I will follow the sound Paper boats, paper boats Please don’t let me drown [Аутро] Drift back to me Soft on the sea Paper boats, paper boats Carry me
