A loud noise
Sleepy child
Fall into bed
Close your eyes
I will watch over you
There’s nothing to fear
I will stand by you
Be brave, my dear
Ugly words
Like scars unhealing
Halting words
Stumble over what I shouldn’t be feeling
Sleepy dreams
Come, take me away
Not to tomorrow yet
I’m stuck in yesterday
Give me a kiss
and I shall give you my word
But, remember, ‘m no merchant
Just a free, lonely, sleepy bird.
