Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When I woke, I was not awake
The light from the sun felt so far away
I went up with all of my strength
Straight for the sun from the depths I sprang
And I drank from the sea
But it opened up and swallowed me
So I sank down deep
Now I'm drunken like a seasick dream
In this dream, I am awake
[Verse 2]
I am awake
[Verse 3]
Well the wind, it ordered the waves
Roll right in, make me their slave
So I went so far away
I didn't look back, come back some day
Mama wave and she weep
She said horizon, don't you take him from me
Black sails on the sea
Just carry me until I can be
Awake
In this dream
I'm awake
