A paper boat that floats on home one lonely April day Sent me back and now I've sailed too far on sentimental waves And as we said our goodbyes I didn't want you to cry And as we said our goodbyes I didn't want you to cry A paper boat that floats downstream on stories we had wrote And though I know where you've been, I don't know where you'll go And as you took back your hand I couldn't understand And as you took back your hand I couldn't understand Well on a New York bus she's bound While songs for Mary keep on flowing out from me And as the snow falls down around our feet She's gone And as we said our goodbyes I didn't want you to cry And as we said our goodbyes I didn't want you to cry
