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
Cuz where I'm at is where I wanna 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
(repeat 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,...
(repeat chorus)
I wanna leave,...
I wanna leave,...
I just wanna wake up,..
I wanna leave.I don't wanna stay,...
