WRAPPING PAPER
(Pete Brown)
Cream


Wrapping paper in the
gutter
Moving slowly as the
wind on the sea
(Faces calling, waves
moving)
In your picture on a
wall of a house of old times
(Can you hear me) Can
you hear me
(Can you hear me)
Wandering sadly?

In the city feeling
pretty
Down and out and
making love to you
On the shore, (ruined
buildings, faces empty)
In the picture as I
gaze ahead and don't see
(That they're
calling) That they're calling
(That they're
calling) Wandering sadly
Shattered windows,
stairs to nowhere
(Hear you calling)
Hear you calling
(Hear you calling) As
I wander so sadly

Wish I knew what
you'd done to me
Turned me on to
things I never knew
It's all broken,
weeds are growing
Wish I was going home
to the house by the shore
(Where you loved me)
Where you loved me
(Where you loved me)
Loved me so sadly

Someday I'll get
back, somehow I'll do it
I'll arrive there and
you'll be there to meet me
(Walk together, tread
the weeds down)
Kiss again in the
picture on the wall
(Where I loved you)
In the old house
(Where I loved you)
Loved you so well
