Charlotte Gainsbourg "Somewhere Between Waking and Sleeping" lyrics

Somewhere Between Waking and Sleeping

Without blindnessThere is no sightYou'd see the further if you'd only close your eyes

In unconsciousnessI can find peaceInside prison walls I can find release

There is a place that I've seenSomewhere between waking and sleeping

Down at the water's edgeSomebody waits for meIs it too late for me?'It's never too late', he says

Without blindnessWithout blindnessthere is no sightthere is failureI'd see furtherpeople gatherif Iby the riverclose my eyesthey were talkingabout the failure

There is a place that I've seenSomewhere between waking and sleeping

Leaning up oversideTrailing my fingertipsWatching the water slipInto the quiet night

Viewed from the wrong end of the telescopeI see myselfSo far below

Still and silentRest in peaceA thread unravelsSuch merciful release

There is a place that I've seenSomewhere between waking and sleeping

Now I can all but seeFigures upon the shoreHe's gathering enemies (?)Where are you taking me?
