Lyrics

Blank Piece of Paper
Music & lyrics by SARA THOMSEN

Good morning, blank piece of paper
Staring back at me
Good morning, cream in my coffee
A cup of time to be
Alone with dawdle and dreaming
There’s ink in my pen
And my old friend, I am tuning
What if words are nowhere to begin?

Chorus:
What if words are nowhere to begin?
How do you say I love you?
How do you greet a friend?
How do you paint the color of the sky?
How do you say goodbye
with no words to begin?

Good morning, sky out my window
Blue beyond the trees
Good morning, sunshine and shadow
Shimmering on the leaves
What is your language and longing?
Your stories on the wind?
What is your singing and songing?
What if words are nowhere to begin?

Chorus

Handwritten lines on the paper
Looking back at me
And I am singing them softly
Slipping them free
To fly like birds out my window
A song on the open sky
Born on the blank page of dawning
What if words are nowhere to begin?

Chorus
