Follow - Richie Havens[00:00:00]
Let the river rock you like a cradle[00:00:14]
Climb to the treetops child if you're able[00:00:21]
Let your hands tie a knot across the table [00:00:28]
Come and touch the things you cannot feel [00:00:35]
And close your fingertips and fly where I can't hold you[00:00:42]
Let the sun-rain fall and let the dewy clouds enfold you[00:00:50]
And maybe you can sing to me the words I just told you [00:00:57]
If all the things you feel ain't what they seem [00:01:04]
And don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream [00:01:10]
The mocking bird sings each different song[00:01:26]
Each song has wings - they won't stay long [00:01:32]
Do those who hear think he's doing wrong [00:01:39]
While the church bell tolls its one-note song[00:01:46]
And the school bell is tinkling to the throng [00:01:53]
Come here where your ears cannot hear [00:02:01]
And close your eyes child and listen to what I'll tell you[00:02:08]
Follow in the darkest night the sounds that may impel you[00:02:17]
And the song that I am singing may disturb or serve to quell you[00:02:24]
If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem [00:02:32]
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream[00:02:37]
The rising smell of fresh-cut grass[00:02:53]
Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas[00:02:59]
I hold some grapes up to the sun[00:03:06]
And their flavour breaks upon my tongue [00:03:13]
With eager tongues we taste our strife[00:03:21]
And fill our lungs with seas of life [00:03:28]
Come taste and smell the waters of our time [00:03:35]
And close your lips child so softly I might kiss you [00:03:42]
Let your flower perfume out and let the winds caress you [00:03:51]
As I walk on through the garden I am hoping I don't miss you[00:03:58]
If all the things you taste ain't what they seem [00:04:06]
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream[00:04:12]
The sun and moon both arise[00:04:29]
And we'll see them soon through days and nights[00:04:34]
But now silver leaves are mirrors bring delights [00:04:42]
And the colours of your eyes are fiery bright [00:04:49]
While darkness blinds the skies with all its light [00:04:57]
Come see where your eyes cannot see [00:05:04]
And close your eyes child and look at what I'll show you;[00:05:12]
Let your mind go reeling out and let the breezes blow you [00:05:21]
And maybe when we meet then suddenly I will know you [00:05:28]
If all the things you see ain't[00:05:36]
Quite what they seem [00:05:39]
Then don't mind me 'cos I ain't nothin' but a dream [00:05:42]
And you can follow; And you can follow; follow[00:05:53]
