It's another happy CApril
To Amevery happy Cfool
And you Ammove through my dreams
Like a trout moves through a pool
FSure I will do anything
And I blush at the reverieC  
Sleeper Gcome and go with Cme
[Verse 2]
And she Amalways was a Cpainter
She Amleft me her Csuitcase
AmAnd I still remember
The soft lines of her drunken face
As she Fstood there in my doorway
Like a cat up in a treeC  
Sleeper Gcome and go with Cme
[Verse 3]
A Amsmall farm in WisCconsin
AmFor a driftless Cman
AmSupper's on the table
The soft touch of lover's hands
Though she Fleaves my salt and wood smoke
For a job in the cityC  
Sleeper Gcome and go with Cme
[Verse 4]
And I will Amtake you with my Cchildren
Through the Amclover to the Ccreek
When OAmrion's gone a-hunting
Through the fields our wishes seek
Where we Fall can love each other
Like sugar in our teaC  
Sleeper Gcome and go with Cme
[Verse 5]
Well, the Amlast wild fling is Cover
The Amcold wind brings the Cdawn
To Amrows of parking meters
And the shadow of a blonde
Who is Fstanding by the wild rye
In a pointless dreamC  
Sleeper Gcome and go with Cme
[Verse 6]
It'Ams another happy CApril
To Amevery happy Cfool
And you Ammove through my dreams
Like a trout moves through a pool
FSure I will do anything
And I blush at the reverieC  
Sleeper Gcome and go with Cme
EmSleeper Gcome and go with Amme__C__

Cynthia Summers - Sleeper

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

It's another happy April

Am C

To every happy fool

And you move through my dreams

Like a trout moves through a pool

Sure I will do anything

And I blush at the reverie

G C

Sleeper come and go with me

[Verse 2]

Am C

And she always was a painter

Am C

She left me her suitcase

And I still remember

The soft lines of her drunken face

As she stood there in my doorway

Like a cat up in a tree

G C

Sleeper come and go with me

[Verse 3]

Am C

A small farm in Wisconsin

Am C

For a driftless man

Supper's on the table

The soft touch of lover's hands

Though she leaves my salt and wood smoke

For a job in the city

G C

Sleeper come and go with me

[Verse 4]

Am C

And I will take you with my children

Am C

Through the clover to the creek

When Orion's gone a-hunting

Through the fields our wishes seek

Where we all can love each other

Like sugar in our tea

G C

Sleeper come and go with me

[Verse 5]

Am C

Well, the last wild fling is over

Am C

The cold wind brings the dawn

To rows of parking meters

And the shadow of a blonde

Who is standing by the wild rye

In a pointless dream

G C

Sleeper come and go with me

[Verse 6]

Am C

It's another happy April

Am C

To every happy fool

And you move through my dreams

Like a trout moves through a pool

Sure I will do anything

And I blush at the reverie

G C

Sleeper come and go with me

Em G Am C

Sleeper come and go with me____
