[Verse 1] I found a map in my coat No name, no road, no note I followed a crow through rain Past the bakery and train A girl sold pears by the curb Said, “Pick the one you deserve” I bit into yellow gold And the whole day turned bold [Pre-Chorus] Then the wind said, come on The small things won’t wait long One step, then one more And the floor became a shore [Chorus] Paper boat parade Paper boat parade I let it drift my way I let it drift my way Paper boat parade Paper boat parade Nothing stays the same But I love it that way [Verse 2] A dog with mud on its paws Chased a leaf through the stalls The butcher laughed at the rain Wiped his hands on a plain blue apron I bought a peach and a pen Wrote your name, then wrote again Folded up my worry clean Laid it down in the stream [Pre-Chorus] Then the wind said, come on The small things won’t wait long One step, then one more And the floor became a shore [Chorus] Paper boat parade Paper boat parade I let it drift my way I let it drift my way Paper boat parade Paper boat parade Nothing stays the same But I love it that way [Bridge] If you’re lost, come nearer I’ve got a little clearer The rain can wash the old skin And let the new light in [Final Chorus] Paper boat parade Paper boat parade I let it drift my way I let it drift my way Paper boat parade Paper boat parade Nothing stays the same But I love it that way
