(Jimmy Webb)
|
You can't erase the Paper Chase
|
She'll make you play it
|
In the bright merry morning
|
She'll run and hide
|
And leave you the paper promises
|
Behind her as she runs across the square
|
|
You can't win the race, She'll set the pace
|
You will hear her laughing
|
Just behind the foolish fences
|
Throw back the gate and find the
|
Piece of paper lying on the curbstone,
|
But the lady won't be there.
|
|
Later in the day,
|
You'll be searching for a way
|
To let her know you're ready
|
For her little game to end
|
Cause it's getting dark, and then-
|
|
You'll see her face, a glimpse of lace
|
And you'll go running
|
Through the last sweet dying daydream
|
Calling her name, but she's been home an hour,
|
Laughing at the mirror
|
As she combs her paper hair.
