A Gentle Awakening

JD McPherson

Put Down the paper, Baby
I had a dream at dawn
A terrible storm blew over
Covered up the morning sun

Beyond I heard a lullaby,
So peaceful and serene.
Next thing I knew I eased into
A Gentle Awakening.

(piano solo)

The people on the city streets,
The farmers on the plains,
Are walkin in a lucid dream
while the sky is set aflame

They soon will hear a quiet tune
So peaceful and serene
That they may, too, ease into
A Gentle Awakening.

(piano solo)

Wading (Waiting?) through a waited (a weighted? awaited?) move,
An unknown masquerade
Hear the warning mocking bird
A mournful serenade

(Piano Solo)

The people on the city streets
The farmers on the plains
Are walkin in a lucid dream
while the sky is set aflame

They soon will hear a quiet tune
So peaceful and serene
That they may, too, ease into
A Gentle Awakening.

(Piano Solo)
