Paper Wrappers
By Kathleen Dunbar
Copyrighted by Kathleen Dunbar

they’re lonely, the curled ones
paper wrappers at the edge of dawn
you’re smoky, like a foggy mirror
I try to see you but you won’t get clear

yeah, yeah, yeah, nobody home
yeah, yeah, yeah, all alone
I wanna be the shadow, dreamin on your pillow
I’d tag along—singing
a song for you, singing
a song

I’m a sad girl, don’t wanna cry
started knowin now I wonder why
I can’t find words for how I feel
like a lost toy with a broken wheel

yeah, yeah, yeah, nobody home
yeah, yeah, yeah, all alone
it wouldn’t bug me if you would up and hug me
let me tag along—singing “
a song for you, singing
a song

a worn out boot got a sorry sole
road’s comin up through the empty hole
I fall in love when I don’t expect
a superhero couldn’t stop the wreck

yeah, yeah, yeah, nobody home
yeah, yeah, yeah, all alone
this is the part where I get a broken heart
let me tag along—singing
a song for you, singing
a song

everywhere, everywhere, everywhere you go I go
everywhere, everywhere, everywhere you go I go
everywhere, everywhere, everywhere you go I go
everywhere, everywhere, everywhere you go I go

an orphan with no bunny bear
everybody got a honey and I wonder where
mine is, how I ended up
I got a heart like an empty cup

yeah, yeah, yeah, nobody home
yeah, yeah, yeah, all alone
I got a smile for you—you ain’t got a clue
let me tag along—singing
a song for you, singing
a song for you, singing
a song for you
singing this song

about

Kathleen Dunbar San Francisco, California

You may notice my songs are about angels and devils, birth, life, death, about creation and crumbling destruction—the troubles we humans get ourselves into and the choices we make—some of them funky, some of them ending in the dark, others rising into the light of morning. Touching, humorous, spellbinding storytelling—my songs brings you into the irony, the tragedy, and the possibilities of life. ... more
