Paper Window Dreams - Jeff Pianki

Last night I could not sleep

I thought about what you said to me

How memories are hollow seeds

Planting paper window dreams

And now I know just what that means

Most things don't last and love can leave

And if we hold on to these memories

Of broken bonds that could not be

Framed in paper window dreams

I remember christmas eve

When I got sick and could not breathe

Frosted windows and chattered teeth

A helpless heart stuck on a sleeve

Framed in paper window dreams

Everyone I've ever met

Has felt something I haven't yet

A 'cause a cure a deep regret

A face a fear they can't forget

So now I know just what that means

Most things don't last and love can leave

And if we hold on to these memories

Of broken hands that could not be

Framed in paper window dreams
