Somewhere Between Waking And Sleeping (Feat.N Hannon) - Air, Neil Hannon

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 waters 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?
