I don't mind drifting away
A strange delusion
Another way to be
Never mind what people say
They know nothing
When I saw you in a dream
Moving slowly
Oh you know how it feels
I tried to reach you while I slumbered
In a quiet place
Mentally you take me away from here
I guess you know the way
You seem to know the way for many things
Secretly somewhere over the sea
I never catch your name
I didn't catch your name and I don't give a damn
I don't want to stay awake
I seek for stillness
Somekind of breakaway
When I'm with you I feel happy
It's a sure thing
