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 grass 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 slip 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

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, re-awakening)
Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired (re-awakening, re-awakening)
(Re-awakening, re-awakening)
(Re-awakening, re-awakening)
(Re-awakening, re-awakening)
(Re-awakening)
