CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG LYRICS - Somewhere Between Waking And Sleeping

"Somewhere Between Waking And Sleeping"



Without blindness

There is no sight

You'd see the 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've 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've seen

Somewhere between waking and sleeping



Leaning up (?) overside

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've seen

Somewhere between waking and sleeping



Now I can all but see

Figures upon the shore

He's gathering enemies (?)

Where are you taking me?
