Pages

I have this premonition
Where I'm standing in the sand
And I'm letting go of stones
They fall, and then I understand
One by one
They leave my sight
And though I've been here many times
Don't know what my age is
I count my life in pages

Every night
I crawl into my bed
Every day my nerves they stretch
They're paper-thin
This is the way things have to be
I never know if it's a dream
Oh I can hear them singing
Wise men and sages
I count my life in pages

Oh I build it up, brick by brick
And I see crumble
And I rearrange it
I'm letting go, stone by stone
And then they leave my sight
And though I've been here many times
I still don't know
I build it up, brick by brick
And I see it crumble
And I haven't slept in ages

I have this premonition
Where I'm standing in the earth
And I never noticed it 'til now
But it all makes sense
And the moss is green
And the vines are tight
Oh see them curling round my feet
Til I don't know where the stage is
I count my life in pages

I never know if it's a dream
Haven't slept in ages
I count my life in pages
