Lyrics

I crossed the river of intentions to forget you
Two silver pieces paid to pass the great divide
I scaled a mountain of distraction to erase you
Tossed out the scattered pieces
left them all behind

Oh tell me I’m dreaming
I’ve seen a ghost down in the nave
She knows where I’ve been sleeping
her slender hands and sullen gaze
Words are falling from her lips
and freeze behind a cold eclipse
The age of wisdom has arrived
So tell me, where is mine?

Across the plains to California I went scheming
into an ocean swept away along the tide
I tried to stay afloat while tumbling ever deeper
Nobody warned me there were sharks on every side

Tell me I’m dreaming
I heard a ghost call out my name
She knows my secrets
the sunken treasures, buried shame
I’ve seen her one then twice
Ten thousand times
Perhaps a sign the age of wisdom has arrived
So tell me, where is mine?

I ran away to cities angry and defiant
A thousand faces couldn’t strip you from my mind
I’m flush with poison but I hear you whisper quiet
All is forgiven I’ve been with you all this time

Tell me I’m dreaming
I know this girl in front of me
I’ll tend to you sweetly
and speak in kinder tones reminds me
of all the time I had the whole world at my feet
and so the age of wisdom has arrived
So tell me, is this mine?
