Eve
The Paper Kites
Dark and fair were the curls in your hair
They were dark and fair when i moved to place just under there
Where i’d play and i’d kiss that every day ‘til i can’t last
In the deep blue pools they were practically jewels
And i slipped down the face but i found my favourite place
And i searched and explored, found a freckle at the door
So i went inside, i went there many times
Oh, i would have liked to stay but there was more i had to see, more i had to see that day
So i hopped and i skipped and i left you with a kiss
‘til i came to a place that was just too good to miss
And, oh it was as pure as snow, the beauty of this sea you’ll never know
Then i climbed and i climbed and i left that place behind
And the mountains it seemed, i had never seen no beautiful a thing
And i slipped down those hills, may have left them with the chill
But a field had i found with a small hole in the ground
And i danced up and down i was twirling all around
Then i did see all those days of beauty stretched in front of me
I would have liked to stay but there was more i had to see, more i had to see that day
I walked past a place, one i cannot say
But when you’re mine, girl i’ll take the journey anytime
Girl i’ll take the journey anytime.
