Lisa Hannigan - Paper House Lyrics
We lended our heavy hearts,
motors with broken parts,
we had a deck of cards it was a start.
We’d sit out in the sun,
and wait for our skin to turn,
and I would look for something to burn.
Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June.
Oh to live in a paper house again,
where we grew by the light of the moon.
Often we took the train,
the sky pacing white to grey,
when you or I would leave
and the other would stay.
We were all that we had
I would ask for truth and
you’d look for something to burn.
Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June.
Oh to live in a paper house again,
where we grew by the light of the moon.
You were much younger then,
younger than I am now,
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow,
I still keep as much an eye as the wires allow.
Oh we walked in a hallowed place back then
the edge of Dublin, the edge of May and June.
Oh to live in a paper house again,
where we grew by the light of the moon.
Oh you know what you are to me
and you know you will always be.

Phillip Phillips from Amerian Idol brought me to Damian Rice, who brought me to LIsa Hannigan. Thanks....please dont think I'm lame because I hadn't heard of them before. I think many ears have been opened because of these shows.
i believe it is about him too
I didn't know there is such a beautiful song like this
"Oh you know what you are to me and you know you will always be"...when she says those last words my heart just breaks in thousands of pieces!!! I will always love Lisa! :)))
simply gorgeous...there's nothing to say really, just to sit, watch, listen and shut up for 4 minutes and 36 seconds....♥
!Qué maravilla!
