"Origami -1"

**[Intro]** [light synth pad + quiet cello drone, percussion gradually builds] **[Verse 1]** My friend, almost like a sister She told me the story How you walked with her till morning Near the station’s glory How the poplar fluff was drifting Beneath your feet so light And how you folded, easy, careless, Just folding all night Origami **[Chorus]** Yeah, yeah… Origami Origami... Origami... (O - o - o - o) Origami! **[Verse 2]** You folded origami From her hands and feet Deep inside the park’s shadows God, how could you be so sweet? And she kept whispering, burning hot Into my ears, my soul Just listen! Listen! So trusting, so bold **[Chorus]** How you broke Her Code of honor I stood there, dying slow My pulse was over two hundred, I know **[Bridge]** If only I’d known back then That I’d walk this whole route again From the end Back to the start I’d have sunk every ship I owned Burned every dock and pier I’d found Not one step Toward you, never Just to save myself, to sever To hide, to disappear **[Outro]** So many years have come and gone But it still comes to me in dreams The park, the street, the streetlights on The fluff beneath our feet, it seems Please, I beg you, don’t say Another word, I can’t take Not another word About origami
