Paper Thin Lyrics
The archangels wounds are still bleeding
and gather some lavender sun
Fistfuls of feathers and greening
there'll be some winter sun
Silently watch fire widow
awakened unto the night
and lead him off into the shadows
traffic eyes alight.
Oh God, oh God please don't
Does love mean nothing?
Oh lord, oh lord, oh no,
I don't see how I can be without
I don't see how I can be without
I'll be there when life leaves you sensing
and your mind scatters and fractures
and crumbles to pieces;
I'll wait and watch them fly.
Oh God, oh God please don't...
Does love mean nothing?
Oh lord, oh lord, oh no,
I don't see how I can be without
I don't see how I can be without
Slowly the stars will rise up and
slowly the stars will rise up and
slowly the stars will rise,
slowly the stars will rise...
All I ever wanted was for you to last;
All I could have asked for, you have been mine.
Can't be without
Can't be without
Can't be without
Can't be without
and gather some lavender sun
Fistfuls of feathers and greening
there'll be some winter sun
awakened unto the night
and lead him off into the shadows
traffic eyes alight.
Does love mean nothing?
Oh lord, oh lord, oh no,
I don't see how I can be without
I don't see how I can be without
and your mind scatters and fractures
and crumbles to pieces;
I'll wait and watch them fly.
Does love mean nothing?
Oh lord, oh lord, oh no,
I don't see how I can be without
I don't see how I can be without
slowly the stars will rise up and
slowly the stars will rise,
slowly the stars will rise...
All I could have asked for, you have been mine.
Can't be without
Can't be without
Can't be without
Can't be without

I think I hear
"seraphic eyes alight"
"I'll be there when life leaves your senses"
"All I could have asked for, you have been... and I can't be without"
He just elides the n of "been" into "and I can't be without" (I think).
I have some cuckoo theories about the first part of the first verse about lavender and green ink and something to sign, but I need to hear it better to be certain before I go too far out on a limb.
