Cover art for Paper Boat lyrics by Belle & Sebastian

The french bit is from the recording... it was at the Black Sessions in 1998. I wish it were a recorded song though...

Close our eyes, and go to sleep and, maybe, when we wake up in the morning, the troubles will be over. I'm not sure if they mean they'll die in their sleep (When the trumpet starts to play / when the darkness starts to fade).
