Paper Ships Lyrics - Singles - Dead Man's Bones

Sailed on a ship of paper 

And I sank in the deep of your eyes 

I got lost in your graveyard 

Now I dream on a bed of knives 

I found the map to your maps 

I lost the shores for you 

But now 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 

Birds are in the sky 

The land's been gone for days 

And 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.
