(play the intro riff through the intro and verse) 
 
WWOZ's on in stereo 
String of flowers haloed around your head 
Candlelight, the ceiling fan 
Curtains blow away and back again 
Back again... 
 
Am             C          Am 
Don't wake me, I think I'm in a dream 
 
G        D     D4 D D2 
Sleepin' is easy 
Am             
I used to lay in bed for hours 
Waited a lifetime now maybe I'll learn 
 
Calling back and forth through heavy air 
The barges sound their warnings in the dark 
Peace comes like a trusted friend 
As it starts to rain again...fall away... 
Fall away... 
 
Am             C          D 
Don't wake me, I think I'm in a dream 
 
G        D     D4 D D2 
Sleepin' is easy 
Am      C         
Used to lay in bed for hours 
I've waited a lifetime, maybe I'll learn 
 
G        D     D4 D D2 
Sleepin' is easy 
Am             
Used to walk the streets for hours 
I've waited a lifetime, maybe I've learned 
 
Let go of your fear, let's grow old together 
Find a place along the way 
Let's reel through the years 
Each makes the other better. 
But what thoughts can I call allies 
when this circle of ribs keeps working on its own? 
 
Chorus
