about
Second of 12 singles to be released in 2021, one per month.
Not to be confused with my album of (nearly) the same name. The beginnings of this song came to me in a dream...I was onstage singing the first few lines. That almost never happens (songs coming to me in a dream, that is), so I was kind of thrilled. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it...Happy Valentine's Day!

lyrics
I'll sail along in a paper boat with you
'cause it's never too late to escape to a lovely view.
All the world is on show if you're willing to row
and there's nowhere I won't go with you.
So sail along in a paper boat with me
and we'll scatter our cares on the waves of the deep blue sea.
Down our fears they will go fifty fathoms below
'til there's nothing keeping you from me.
Sailing off into the blue for a daydream rendezvous.
It's absurd, but every word is true.
I would leave the world behind me
if I only knew that
you'd sail along in a paper boat for two.
For the rest of our lives nothing less than the best will do.
As the shoreline recedes we'll have all that we need
just the ocean, the stars, our boat
and me and you…
'cause it's never too late to escape to a lovely view.
All the world is on show if you're willing to row
and there's nowhere I won't go with you.
So sail along in a paper boat with me
and we'll scatter our cares on the waves of the deep blue sea.
Down our fears they will go fifty fathoms below
'til there's nothing keeping you from me.
Sailing off into the blue for a daydream rendezvous.
It's absurd, but every word is true.
I would leave the world behind me
if I only knew that
you'd sail along in a paper boat for two.
For the rest of our lives nothing less than the best will do.
As the shoreline recedes we'll have all that we need
just the ocean, the stars, our boat
and me and you…
