Let the river rock you like a cradle

Climb to the treetops child

If you're able

Let your hands tie a

Knot across the table

Come and touch the

Things you cannot feel

And close your fingertips

And fly where I can't hold you

Let the sun-rain fall and

Let the dewy clouds enfold you

And maybe you can sing to

Me the words I just told you

If all the things you feel ain't

What they seem

And don't mind me 'cause

I ain't nothin' but a dream

The mocking bird sings

Each different song

Each song has wings -

They won't stay long

Do those who hear

Think he's doing wrong

While the church bell

Tolls its one-note song

And the school bell

Is tinkling to the throng

Come here where your

Ears cannot hear

And close your eyes child

And listen to what I'll tell you

Follow in the darkest night the

Sounds that may impel you

And the song that I am singing

May disturb or serve to quell you

If all the sounds you hear

Ain't what they seem

Then don't mind me

'Cause I ain't nothin' but a dream

The rising smell of

Fresh-cut grass

Smothered cities choke

And yell with fuming gas

I hold some grapes up to the sun

And their flavour breaks

Upon my tongue

With eager tongues

We taste our strife

And fill our lungs with seas of life

Come taste and smell

The waters of our time

And close your lips child

So softly I might kiss you

Let your flower perfume out

And let the winds caress you

As I walk on through the garden

I am hoping I don't miss you

If all the things you taste ain't

What they seem

Then don't mind me

'Cause I ain't nothin' but a dream

The sun and moon both arise

And we'll see them soon

Through days and nights

But now silver leaves are mirrors

Bring delights

And the colours of your eyes

Are fiery bright

While darkness blinds the skies

With all its light

Come see where your

Eyes cannot see

And close your eyes child

And look at what I'll show you;

Let your mind go reeling out

And let the breezes blow you

And maybe when we meet

Then suddenly I will know you

If all the things you see

Ain't what they seem

Then don't mind me

'Cause I ain't nothin' but a dream

And you can follow;

And you can follow; follow
