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 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?
