Lyrics

Take me by the hand lead me to a far off land.
I’ll be first mate; you’ll be the captain.
With you at the helm of this crazy ship of fools,
I’m the compass pointing’ home again.

I’ve never been much for diamonds and gold.
Always been more the kind for silver & stone.
So write me a song, I know you’ll put your heart in it.
What more could I be dreaming of?

Give me paper roses in a beautiful bouquet
Say you’ll love me tomorrow more than today,
Give me paper roses, I’ll tell you why,
Just like my love babe, paper roses never die.

So love me tall and solid like a redwood tree,
Love me vast and wide like the deep blue sea,
Love me forever babe, you know I’ll be true.
Love me like a freight train the way I love you.

Give me paper roses in a beautiful bouquet
Say you’ll love me tomorrow more than today,
Give me paper roses, I’ll tell you why,
Just like my love babe, paper roses never die.
