Gerald Merrick



Let the rivers rock you like a cradle



Climb to the treetops, little child, if you're able

Always let your hands tie a knot across the table

Come and touch the things you cannot feel



Fold your fingertips, girl, and find where I can't hold you

Let the sun ray fall and let the dewey ground unfold you

I know someday you'll sing to me the words I've just told you

If all the things you feel ain't what they seem to beDon't you mind me girl, 'cause I ain't really nothin' but a dream



I hold some grapes up to the sun

Flavor breaks and bursts and rolls upon my tongue

Eager tongues, we'll always taste our strife

Fill up our lungs with seeds of life

You come and taste and smell the waters of our times



Close your lips, child, so softly I might kiss you

Let your flower perfume out and let the winds come and caress you

As I walk this garden I am hoping I don't miss you

The things you taste and smell ain't what they seem

Don't you mind me girl, I guess I'm nothin' but a walking dream



The sun and moon both are right

We'll see them soon thru all our days and night

But the colors I see in your eyes are fiery bright

I swear they blind the heavens with all their light

Come and see what your eyes cannot see



Close your eyes, child and look while I show you

Let your mind go reeling out and let the breezes just blow you

Someday we'll meet again and suddenly I'll know you

All the things that you see ain't what they seem to be

Now don't mind me I ain't nothin' but a dream



A mockingbird sings each different song

Each song has wings and won't stay long

Those who hear him think he's doing wrong

While the church bell and school bell toll their one note song

Come hear where your ears cannot hear



Close your ears child and listen while I tell you

Follow the darkest night, the sounds they may impel you

Even the song I'm singing may disturb or serve to quell you

All the sounds you hear aren't what they seem to be

Don't you mind me girl, oh, I ain't nothing but a dream



If you can follow, girl, follow, girl

If you can follow, girl, follow
