[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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 ending read, I think the hero's dead
[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
[Bridge]
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)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
And if I can't wake up Will I be all alone
A stranded orphan here
Or will I bump into some other wandering soul
And will they talk to me, somebody, somebody please rescue me
[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
[Outro]
I wanna leave, I wanna leave
I wanna wake up, I wanna leave, I don't wanna stay
I wanna leave, I wanna go
I wanna go home, I wanna go home
Just wake me up, I wanna go home
Wake me up please, 'cause I wanna go home
I wanna go home, wake me, wake me
