Wake Me Gently

[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
