to me in dreams
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Her face was hidden in

the mountain streams
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Her voice disguised as the

sound of the wind
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
The rustling of leaves,

she would call from within
C C 
 
Wake

So many memories of those
F F

years have passed
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Beyond the confusion,
F F 
 
C C 
 
that thought would last forever
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
The countless veils that I

wore like clothes

Have been stripped away,
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
now stand here exposed
C C 
 
Wake

G G 
 
In the night when the moon
Dm Dm 
 
F F

casts no shadows at all
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
We sat by the fire as she started to call
C C 
 
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Out to all who would hear that
F F 
 
C C 
 
the death of what's dead
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
Is the birth of what's living and

her words  filled my head

Wake up, wake up, wake up,

wake up dead

Verse 7
F F 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
It's the life that lies sleeping when you
F F 
 
C C 
 
think you're awake
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
F F 
 
C C 
 
Forever is real and the rest is just fake
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
And though volumes are written
F F 
 
on this subject alone
C C 
 
G G 
 
Dm Dm 
 
She used three simple words
F F 
 
C C 
 
and she brought it all home

Verse 8

Wake up, wake up,

wake up, she said

Wake up, wake up, wake up,

wake up dead
