• Awake (2013 Version) by Michael Guy Bowman

Lyrics:

Awake again
Here in my bed
Eyes staring up at the ceiling

A breath of air
Light in my window
Heart still aglow with the feeling
I was dreaming

Another time, another place
A strange and yet familiar face
Buried deep within my bed
I wade through memories in my head

My sock's half on
Hand in a book
Finger is still on the chapter

We both were there
I told a joke
I can't recall what came after
Just your laughter

Clock goes off across the room
And time restarts and life resumes
I rise to meet the coming day
But someone's laughing far away

Michael Guy Bowman ✑ SoundCloud description

Commissioned by Samuel Bennallick. Cello by Clark Powell.

Request was as follows: "...the confusion one feels upon waking up from a particularly intense dream; good or bad. The struggle to come to terms with some shocking imagery or, if it was a particularly good dream, the realisation that you're not in that euphoric state you dreamt about and waking up into the dull monotony of life."
