Wake me in the morning in the middle of a dream
Wake me with another dream besides
Catch me unaware like Autumn in the air
Catch me where my secret prayer resides
Don't speak riddles baby
Don't speak rhymes
Speak it straight plain and true
Like a river runnin' to the sky between the pines
Runnin' right back to you
Show me where you're at with your Michigan hands
Kiss me while we listen to those Michigan bands
Hey what would you say if I could find my way back home
Wake me in the daytime in the middle of a dream
Wake me with a coffee colored kiss
Whisper in cinnamon, sugar and cream
Reminding me of all the things I miss
Don't be bitter baby don't be cold
Patience is a virtue but it's hard
Like the ice on the walk on the summertime chalk
Through the Winter in your front yard
Show me where you're at with your Michigan hands
Kiss me while we listen to those Michigan bands
Hey what would you say if I could find my way back home
Wake me in the nighttime in the middle of a dream
Wake me with the dream you dream tonight
Tell me where you stray when you slip so far away
And girl what pulls you back into the light
But don't you worry baby there's no hurry
The dawn it has a way all of it's own
Like one water drop will freeze and stop
And split right through the center of a stone
Show me where you're at with your Michigan hands
Kiss me while we listen to those Michigan bands
Hey what would you say if I could find my way back home
Love,
Joe Nolan
