Written by:Jerry Merrick[00:00:02]
Let the river rock you like a cradle[00:00:14]
Climb to the treetops child if you're able[00:00:20]
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[00:00:42]
And fly where I can't hold you[00:00:46]
Let the sun rain fall[00:00:50]
And let the dewy clouds enfold you[00:00:52]
And maybe you can sing to me[00:00:57]
The words I just told you[00:01:01]
If all the things you feel ain't[00:01:04]
What they seem[00:01:07]
Then don't mind me 'cause[00:01:10]
I ain't nothin' but a dream[00:01:15]
The mocking bird sings each different song[00:01:26]
Each song has wings[00:01:32]
They won't stay long[00:01:35]
Do those who hear think he's doing wrong[00:01:39]
While the church bell tolls it's 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 ears child[00:02:08]
And listen to what I'll tell you[00:02:12]
Follow in the darkest night[00:02:17]
The sounds that I may impel you[00:02:20]
And the song that I am singing[00:02:24]
May disturb or serve to quell you[00:02:26]
If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem[00:02:31]
Then don't mind me 'cause[00:02:37]
I ain't nothin' but a dream[00:02:42]
Hmmm[00:02:47]
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[00:03:36]
And close your lips child[00:03:42]
So softly I might kiss you[00:03:47]
Let your flower perfume out[00:03:51]
And let the winds caress you[00:03:54]
As I walk on through the garden[00:03:58]
I am hoping I don't miss you[00:04:02]
If all the things you taste ain't what they seem[00:04:06]
Then don't mind me[00:04:12]
'Cause I ain't nothin' but a dream[00:04:16]
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 it's light[00:04:57]
Come see where your eyes cannot see[00:05:05]
And close your eyes child[00:05:12]
And look at what I'll show you[00:05:17]
Let your mind go reeling out[00:05:21]
And let the breezes blow you[00:05:24]
And maybe when we meet[00:05:28]
Then suddenly I will know you[00:05:31]
If all the things you see ain't[00:05:36]
What they seem[00:05:39]
Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream[00:05:42]
And you can follow[00:05:53]
And you can follow[00:05:57]
Follow[00:06:01]
