Tracing Paper Lyrics by Alice Marie

Gazers

2013

"Darling, there are angels watching over you."
Well, he never was a child but I suppose your wish came true
"Maybe it was my fault," but "Maybe it was mine."
Maybe if she'd stayed in bed or I'd been home on time
"I am not your soldier!" and this is not my war
Tell me are you better now than what you were before?
The fire in your eyes, your mouth open wide
I will take no orders, take me back against the tidе
In my dreams are burning wheels in the sky
Tracing papеr angels locked up in endless time
Reach into your chest and bandage up your heart
We are endless healing until we're ripped apart, oh
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la
Make another promise, promise you'll come home?
I am not an orphan yet, and you scream down the phone
That all this is before you, I know you have your pride
But I am not your soldier, "Daddy, please come back inside?"
La la la la la, la la la la
Of all the ways to leave us, burned in my mind
Give me the strength to go on even in the darkest times
And "maybe it was my fault" keeps going round my head
We catch ourselves forgetting, sometimes, "All of our friends are…"
La la la la la, la la la la
(In my dreams, in my dreams)
La la la la la, la la la la
(Tracing paper angels, tracing paper angels)
La la la la la, la la la la
(In my dreams, in my dreams)
La la la la la, la la la la
(Tracing paper angels, tracing paper angels)
In my dreams are burning wheels in the sky
Tracing paper angels locked up in endless time
Reach into your chest and bandage up your heart
We are endless healing until we're ripped apart, oh
"Maybe it was my fault," but "Maybe it was mine."
Maybe if she'd stayed in bed or I'd been home on time
