about

Written by annA rydeR October 2004

lyrics

On the road to Farley Green
Heavy the papers I deliver
Have to collect the money today
October wind makes me shiver

Leaves on the ground like a puzzle
Ready to be put together
And I wish my bag was a bag full of leaves
I would give them all to the weather

BUT I’M JUST A PAPER GIRL
I’M JUST A PAPER GIRL

Some of the houses are rich in taste
With many possessions inside
Statues of lions upon the gate
And two or three cars in the drive

Some of the houses belong to the earth
With roses around the door
And I wish my bag was a bag full of petals
I wouldn’t mind carrying more

BUT I AM JUST A PAPER GIRL I COULD BLOW AWAY
I COULD BLOW AWAY I COULD BLOW AWAY
I AM JUST A PAPER GIRL I COULD BLOW AWAY
I’M JUST A PAPER GIRL

A deer springs into my path
Startled he freezes a moment
Eye to eye we breathe the same air
Seeming the time to be stolen

Then he’s gone, and I move on
But never the moment undone
And I wish my bag was a bag full of time
I would give it all to someone

BUT I AM JUST A PAPER GIRL I COULD BLOW AWAY…

The rain begins, I pull up my hood
I won’t be done til it’s dark
I am alone with this world of mine
It seems to set me apart

Knock on doors – deliver and collect
Some speak to me kindly
And I wish my bag was a bag full of smiles
I would leave a trail for you to find me

BUT I’M JUST A PAPER GIRL YES I’M JUST A PAPER GIRL…
