Pebbles In My Hand - Rainbirds

Here and there and everywhere I go

I stand on my two feet

On my two hands I walk away

Now and then and almost every time

I wake up walking in my sleep

I feel the need to walk away

Once upon a time it was

When everything was real there was

Nobody who would want to walk away

But today we know so much

That we don’t really know just what

Is true or false or should we go or stay

All of a sudden I wake up

All of a sudden I wake up

The words I trust to build upon

Are pebbles in my hand

All of a sudden I wake up

All of a sudden I wake up

The words that name the right and wrong

Are pebbles in my hand

The words I give and those I take

Are just pebbles in my hand

Every time I look I see them

Moving by remote control so remote

That they don’t even know

Yet it seems they know so much

That they don’t really care so much

About who does and who does not control

All of a sudden I wake up

All of a sudden I wake up

The words I trust to build upon

Are pebbles in my hand

All of a sudden I wake up

All of a sudden I wake up

The words that name the right and wrong

Are pebbles in my hand

The words I give and those I take

Are just pebbles in my hand
