AIR – 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

[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
