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 ‘cos 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 ‘cos i ain’t nothin’ but a dream

the rising smell of fresh-cut gr-ss
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 ‘cos i ain’t nothin’ but a dream .
