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

(Without blindness)

There is no sight

(There is failure)

I'd see further

(People gather)

If I

(By the river)

Close my eyes

(They were talking)

About the failure

There is a place that I have seen

Somewhere between waking and sleeping

Leaning over the side

Trailing my fingertips

Watching the water slip

Into the quiet night

Viewed from the wrong end of the

Telescope

I see myself

So far below

Still and silent

Rest in peace

A thread unravels

Such 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 up the oars

Where are you taking me?
