(Intro)
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2
(Verse 1)
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Let the river rock you like a cradle
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Climb to the treetops, child, if you're able
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Let your hands tie a knot across the table.
A F#m Bm Dsus2
Come and touch the things you cannot feel.
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
And close your fingertips and fly where I can't hold you
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Let the sun-rain fall and let the dewy clouds enfold you
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
And maybe you can sing to me the words I just told you,
F#m Bm Dsus2
If all the things you feel ain't what they seem.
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2
And don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.
(Verse 2)
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
The mocking bird sings each different song
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Each song has wings - they won't stay long.
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Do those who hear think he's doing wrong?
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
While the church bell tolls its one-note song
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
And the school bell is tinkling to the throng.
A F#m Bm Dsus2
Come here where your ears cannot hear.
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
And close your eyes, child, and listen to what I'll tell you
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Follow in the darkest night the sounds that may impel you
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
And the song that I am singing may disturb or serve to quell you
F#m Bm Dsus2
If all the sounds you hear ain't what they seem,
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream
(Verse 3)
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
The rising smell of fresh-cut grass
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Smothered cities choke and yell with fuming gas
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
I hold some grapes up to the sun
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
And their flavour breaks upon my tongue.
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
With ea---ger tongues we taste our strife
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
And fill our lungs with seas of life.
A F#m Bm Dsus2
Come taste and smell the waters of our time.
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
And close your lips, child, so softly I might kiss you,
Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
Let your flower perfume out and let the winds caress you.
Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
As I walk on through the garden, I am hoping I don't miss you
F#m Bm Dsus2
If all the things you taste ain't what they seem,
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.
(Verse 4)
Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
The sun and moon both arise
Dsus2 A Dsus2
And we'll see them soon through days and nights
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
But now silver leaves are mirrors, bring delights.
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
And the colours of your eyes are fiery bright,
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
While darkness blinds the skies with all its light.
A F#m Bm Dsus2
Come see where your eyes cannot see.
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
And close your eyes, child, and look at what I'll show you;
Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
Let your mind go reeling out and let the breezes blow you,
Dsus2 A Dsus2 A
And maybe when we meet then suddenly I will know you.
F#m Bm Dsus2
If all the things you see ain't what they seem,
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2
Then don't mind me 'cause I ain't nothin' but a dream.
