Wakin' in the morning, oh it's storming,
blanket wrapped around my hands.
I gotta face it, another day in a life that I can hardly stand.
Then I quiver, I consider checkin' out and calling in.
Days are brighter livin' in my REM.
Life in a slumber is a different scene.
Life in a slumber, I'm gonna live in a dream.
Again, again.
Walking in the forest, I hear a chorus,
don't know where it's coming from.
I gotta find it, I'm right behind it,
heart is beating like a drum.
Then I see her, go to meet her, daughter from another sun.
And I know I'll never ever want another one.
Life in a slumber, I wanna live in a dream.
Seventeen hours, till I see her again.
I'm going under, and I'm bringing' a ring.
Life in a slumber, I'm gonna live in a dream.
Oh my darling whispers to me:
"My love, my man, I am yours"
"Oh my love, be my man.
Hold me, adore me-
I love you - it's holy-
I'll give you what I only can."
Life in a slumber, I wanna live in a dream.
Seventeen hours till I see her again.
I'm going under, and I'm bringing a ring.
Life in a slumber, I'm gonna live in a dream.
She holds me, adores me-
She loves me - it's holy-
She gives me what she only can.
