Lyrics
Re-Awakening
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If you catch me running along by the sea, with bare feet in
the sand, then you'll know I am dreaming my life out in a way
you won't understand.
I'm slipping right out of your mind, this I know, and I accept
the fact lazily, for I must go into the next field,
where grass is green and I'll find peace.
Let me sleep!
Let me dream!
Let me be!
Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired.
Don't push me: I was taught self-expression
when I was a child, and so I know
the best way to go is slow.
Sometimes, when skies are cloud-grey, and trouble's hanging
heavy on your mind, I advise you: curl up, slide away and
dream your life out, as I am.
Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired.
Don't push me: I was taught self-expression
when I was a child, and so I see
the best way to be's asleep.
Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired
