Scribbled Paper Lyrics
‘Cause I went looking for a trace of something that you left
And when I saw dried paint and your scribbled initials
I acted like I could care less while my thumb press to the paper
I wanted to find your portrait, wanted to have it
Recalling a piercing voice in old dreams
And ghostly images of black trains
Now seeing every page is turned away
I wanted to own your portrait
Wanted to have it
You and your scribbled paper makes me shiver so
You and your scribbled paper makes me shiver so
And when I saw dried paint and your scribbled initials
I acted like I could care less while my thumb press to the paper
I wanted to find your portrait, wanted to have it
And ghostly images of black trains
Now seeing every page is turned away
I wanted to own your portrait
Wanted to have it
You and your scribbled paper makes me shiver so

Beautiful song. Such a gentle and natural progression... almost subliminal.
This song is about connecting to ancestry....
She speaks about finding pieces of her ancestors and how it makes her feel recognizing a piece of her...
She uses the “scribbled paper” to recall her visions and dreams and that is the “portrait” she only has of them....
Her man left and she looked around for anything he left behind. He scribbled her a note.
