Paper Bird I Discovered lyrics

(*Paul DeHaven)

I discovered that I loved you in a meadow by the ocean
As the moon followed the sun over the trees,
And the twilight lingered green, and the dawn came
Whitely screaming.
I discovered that I loved you in a forest by the freeway
As the green leafs folded hands for a prayer,
And we lay still there,
And the flowers sprouted from our bare shoulders.

Place a bag upon your back and lets
Run away while cathedral bells chime,

In a minute they'll be dead, but
We'll have saved some extra time.

I'll no magellan, I'm no francis drake, but
In the tiny corners of the world I've explored
I discovered that I loved you.

Varry an unmbrella overhead while the rain falls down
In an hour there'll be puddles, but
We'll have saved some dry land.
