Dead Man's Bones Paper Ships
I sailed on a ship of paper
And i sunk in the deep of your eyes
I got lost in your graveyard
Now i dream on a bed of knives
I found the maps to your maps
I lost the shores for you
And i'll never get back
Cause i'm a ghost ship on the blue
Now i hold my poems
For ladies unknown
Until my hands go weak
I'll be
A ghost ship on the blue
The birds are in the sky
Land's been gone for days
All you left was time
To find a solid grave
Pirates never loved
The way that i do
You never said enough
To keep me next to you
Now i hold my poems
For ladies unknown
Until my hands go weak
I'll be
A ghost ship on the blue
The earth is flat and dangerous
I grew out of my iron coat
With a banshee in a tunnel
