[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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!

[Chorus]
Re-awakening isn't easy when you're tired
Don't push me: I was taught self-expression
When I was a child, and now I see
The best way to be's asleep

[Verse 2]
Sometimes, when skies are cloud-grey
And trouble's hanging heavy on your mind
I advise you: curl up, slip away
And sleep your life out, as I am
[Pre-Chorus]
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!

[Chorus]
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's asleep

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