Bachdenkel - A Thousand Pages Before lyrics

They say I was found in your garden Asleep in the rain by your door In my hand was a note Can't explain what I wrote Or why the words that you read Should be something I said A thousand pages before When I wanted to learn and you taught me You told me to write and I wrote Page after page I poured out my rage In each line and each verse And each kiss and each curse Can be read in the rhymes that I wrote Now it's cold and I'm tired and I'm lonely There's no sleep to be found like before I go out in the night Just to sit there and write The words that you see And I think there must be A thousand pages or more And I'm lost, lost like I'm blind She's not the kind of girl who would guide you You're trapped, and the key is your mind That's when you find she's turned it forever So I drank 'til the bottle was empty And the pages all strewn on the floor But the words still remain As if engraved on my brain Was each line and each verse And each kiss and each curse I wrote a thousand pages before
