Dreamer, Gently Waking

The sleeper wakes
As distant thunder breaks
The summer shade is turning colder
Am I an old man
Dreaming of my youth?
Or am I young, dreaming I'm older?

Mother, will you soothe me now?
(Mother, will you soothe me now?)
I am weary, I am aching
(I am weary, I am aching)
Smooth my hair, stroke my brow
(Smooth my hair, stroke my brow)
I am a dreamer gently waking
(I am a dreamer gently waking)

The summer breeze
Is shaking in the leaves
Eastwards night is softly breaking
Smooth my hair, stroke my brow
I am a dreamer gently waking

The sky is charcoal grey
At the ending of the day
Shall I wake or am I dreaming?
Is this garden
Growing in my past?
Or is my last sunset a-gleaming?

Mother, who will soothe me now?
(Mother, who will soothe me now?)
I am restless, I am aching
(I am restless, I am aching)
Smooth my hair, stroke my brow
(Smooth my hair, stroke my brow)
I am a dreamer gently waking
(I am a dreamer gently waking)
Smooth my hair, stroke my brow
(Smooth my hair, stroke my brow)
I am a dreamer gently waking
(I am a dreamer gently waking)
Smooth my hair, stroke my brow
(Smooth my hair, stroke my brow)
I am a dreamer gently waking
(I am a dreamer gently waking)
