Re‐awakening Songtext
von Peter Hammill

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 grass is green and I'll find peace
Let me sleep, let me dream, let me be

Reawakening 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
Now 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 grass is green and I'll find peace
Let me sleep, let me dream, let me be

Reawakening 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
Best way to be's asleep

Reawakening isn't easy when you′re tired
Reawakening isn′t easy when you're tired
Reawakening isn′t easy when you're tired
(Reawakening, reawakening)
Reawakening isn′t easy when you're tired
(Reawakening, reawakening)
(Reawakening, reawakening)

(Reawakening, reawakening)
