Sleep
So may be you won't hear
The call of carnival

Close your window
Turn off the light
Sleep

Like a young boy out of fear
Running like the leaves
Down the sidewalk autumn night


Sleep
So maybe you won't feel

The air is blowing cold
The dead don't fear
To take a chill

Sleep
The autumn still is young
As you are growing old

With a turn of the furious wheel

The autumn is coming

Bringing sorrow and grey
The autumn is coming
Always here to stay

The wails of a lifetime
Are all gathered in it
The shadows are rustling

Can you feel yourself caught in this trap

Sleep

Slumbers crawl
Fast
Slow

Like the river flow

Wait

Till the dreams will come
Wrap you up and arm
Like the autumn shade


The dark isn't far
Stay here as you are

Try not to think

You had to run

With a night like this
So the sadness could not hurt


Dream on
