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
(I am awake)
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 awaaakkkkee
