Lyrics Air – Somewhere Between Waking And Sleeping

Text:

Without blindness, there is no sight
You’d see further if you’d only close your eyes
In unconsciousness I can find peace
Inside prison walls I can find release

There is a place that I have seen

Somewhere between waking and sleeping
Down at the water’s edge
Somebody waits for me
Is it too late for me
It’s never too late, he says

Left Channel
Without blindness, there is no sight
You’d see further if you’d close your eyes
Unblock the failure

Right Channel
Without blindness, there is failure
People gather by the river
They were talking

There is a place that I have seen
Somewhere between waking and sleeping
Leaning over the side
Trailing my fingertips
Feeling the water slip
Into the quiet night

Viewed from the wrong end of a telescope
I see myself, so far below
Still and silent, rest in peace
The thread unravels
Merciful release

There is a place that I have seen

Somewhere between waking and sleeping
Now I can almost see
Figures upon the shore
He’s gathering in the oars
Where are you taking me
