Peter Hammill - Re-Awakening lyrics

If you catch me running along by the sea With bare feet in the sand Then you'll know I am dreaming my life out In a way you won't understand And 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 gra** is green and I'll find peace Let me sleep Let me dream Let me be! Re-awakening 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, slip away and Sleep your life out, as I am And 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 gra** is green and I'll find peace Let me sleep Let me dream Let me be! Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired So don't push me: I was taught self-expression When I was a child, and now I see The best way to be is asleep Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired
