Oddly, I always prefered Richard & Linda Thompson performing that song, in particular the version from the BBC 2 "Little Night Music".

They lyrics are fine. Just split them in four-line verses.

It's from Sandy's last solo album "Rendezvous", released in May 1977. The 2005 Island CD reissue has a demo version with piano only that is much more interesting than the bombastic official version.

I'M A DREAMER
(Sandy Denny)

You make me nervous when I see you.
I can't imagine what it's like to be you.
It's a mystery to me every day,
And I've got to get away.

I put a bet on with a bookie
For the race they put on over in Kentucky.
It's lovely at this time of year, so they say,
And I've got to get away.

I'm a dreamer, and you know
I'm a schemer with an eye for a show.
It's my imagination when I get low,
And the truth is I don't think I'll ever go.

When the music's playing, that's when it changes,
And no longer do we seen like total strangers.
It's all those words which always get in the way
Of what you want to say.

When I wake up in the morning
I think it only fair to give you warning
I probably won't go away,
I'll more than likely stay.

I'm a dreamer, and you know
I'm a schemer with an eye for a show.
It's my imagination when I get low,
And the truth is I don't think I'll ever go.
