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
