Peter Hammill - Re-awakening lyrics

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!

Reawakening 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, slid away and

dream your life out, as I am.

Reawakening 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.

Reawakening isn't easy when you're tired
