Lyrics
"Origami Man". M. Leppard 1997
I give you scissors
To crop my sweet sensation
and ribbon to tie up my hair
Rare fruit to taste
And seeds to sew
I write you letters
To show that I care
Because I love you
God knows I love you
The gentle hands
Of the Origami Man
Make paper boats
To sail away my pain
Paper so thin
To wrap my heart up in
For happiness
He folds a yellow crane
I told him I love you
Why do I love you?
You and I could fly together
Over silvery seas led by the moon
She'll shine a way
If only you'll say
That you love me too
I tell you secrets
Don't know if you respect them
I want you to know who I am
I say my prayer
That some day you'll be there
I dream I'm walking through shifting sand
I guess I just love you
Can't help but love you
You and I could fly away together
Over silvery seas led by the moon
She'll shine a way
If only you'll say
Go on, say it
That you love me too.
