Wake Me Gently

I was scared to death

Afraid to close my eyes

and find that I was gone

Like every other one who left before the dawn

I vanished in the air

Am I still there?

[chorus]

Wake me gently, if you can

Wake me gently, just touch my hand

Wake me gently, pull my sleeve

'cause where I'm at is where I want to leave.

And in my sleep, I look so lifeless on this bed

Laid out on satin sheets

This dream's a novel that I don't dare complete

No happy endings read

I think the hero's dead

[Chorus]

Me to my slumber

And I'll never come home

Please help me I'm frightened

Of what's going on (what's going on?)

And if I can't wake up

Will I be all alone?

A stranded orphan here?

Or will I bump into some other wandering souls?

And will they talk to me?

Somebody, somebody please rescue me

[Chorus]

I want to leave

I want to leave

I just want to wake up

I want to leave I don't want to stay
