Paper Horses Lyrics by Ed Askew

For The World

0

[Instrumental intro]
[00:00-00:45]
[Chorus]
Purple fishes
Fly away
Water falls into
A blue lake
It's a swim up stream
On some days
But turtle has to lay her eggs
[Verse 1]
He got three wishes
When he found that, found that old lamp
A magic carpet was the best he made
The girl from Kansas
Had it made
But she went home
When she should've stayed
[Verse 2]
I've met some children on my way
Talked to boys in the willow shade
We went swimming on the last day
Gave me a bottle of wine (Yes, they did)
[Instrumental]
[2:05-2:27]
[Chorus Version 2]
Paper horses
Run away
That little child
Runs all day
A yellow bird
And a black snake
A glass of bear
And chips
[Chorus]
Purple fishes
Fly away
Water falls into
A blue lake
It's a swim up stream
On some days
But turtle has to lay her eggs
[Instrumental outro]
[3:15-3:51]
