lyrics

true as they lie, there all together;
the dreamers of night, asleep on the heather.
whether you're called; stay, stay after.
the dreamers that fall will be caught in the rafters.

because it's better to know if there's life for the taking.
but you're better alone if your heart, it is breaking.
then you should realise that they la-lie;
the world is uncertain, so let's all say good night.

whether it rains, or whether it pours;
whether the day is in your eyes;
sleep is to dream, and you're never alone;
caught in the gaze of your mind.

oh, hold me aloft where there's sun for the taking;
a victim of god, that is life in the making.
i'll sit and wait there for the moonlight to arrive;
i know it's not perfect, but this way i survive.

whether it rains, or whether it pours;
whether the day is in your eyes;
sleep is to dream, and you're never alone;
caught in the gaze of your mind.

oh sleep is the pace for reflection of pace;
if you give it away, you will never replace
the hole in your heart; or the beauty of mind -
it's a terrible start to a world so defined
by decision and action; cause and reaction; and sleep -
oh you're mearly away in your mind;
oh you're mearly away in your mind;
oh you're mearly away in your mind;
you are mearly away in your mind!

oh sleep is the place for reflection of pace;
if you give it away...
there's a hole in your heart; and a beauty of mind...
there's decision and action; cause and reaciton; and sleep.

oh you're mearly away in your mind;
oh you're mearly away in your mind;
oh you're mearly away in your mind;
you are mearly away in your mind.
