Air › Lyrics › Somewhere Between Waking and Sleeping

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

Without blindness, there is no sight
(Without blindness, there is failure)
You'd see further if you'd close your eyes
(People gather by the river, they were talking)
Unblock the failure

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 the 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?
