Paper Boats, Slow Gutter Water
by Vanta Lux
“Rain on the street, folded paper, one two three. I closed with childhood because the harbour reminds me of it.”

Lyrics
Rain on the street, I was small Folded paper, one two three Put the boat down in the gutter Watched it sail away from me Paper boats, paper boats Floating home, floating home Paper boats, paper boats I was never alone Your hand was warm on my sleeve We ran beside it to the drain Now the rain comes down the window And I'm a kid again Paper boats, paper boats Floating home, floating home Paper boats, paper boats I was never alone Slow water, slow water Carry it far Slow water, slow water Back to where we are Paper boats, paper boats Floating home, floating home Paper boats, paper boats I was never alone Floating home Floating home
