Paperback Boy Lyrics

15 minutes, three weeks and one day
I'm glad that I decided I would stay, still hear you say
Every night is our night, but this dream
Will change tomorrow... see... I know... I mean

Wasn't it good? You bathed in wine
Wasn't it fine? You captured my mind
Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy
But why did it end, my paperback boy?

Wash away your sorrow with this word, it didn't occur
That I still want you as a friend of mine, it wasn't the wine
Strange how everything, oh quickly changed
You're acting funny and a bit deranged

Wasn't it good? You bathed in wine
Wasn't it fine? You captured my mind
Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy
But why did it end, my paperback boy?
