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

You'd see further if you'd close your eyes

Unblock the failure

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
