Waking 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 checking out and calling in
Days are brighter livin in my REM
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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.”
[Chorus]
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
