| SWEET SLUMBER |
 |
| Your eyes are tired and weary You carry the weight of the day It's time to recharge your energy bars So let me take you away Step into this boat of rest Recline your aching frame Close your eyes and feel the stress gradually begin to wane The water laps upon the shore of this riverbed in the night You're floating free without an oar The stars your only light Swirling eddies sift through your thoughts and spiral your troubles away Off you drift in your slumber skiff On a journey to dissolve the day A maze of images flow in your mind as you're carried along downstream You doze and release them with a sigh While the night air whispers your dreams You're blanketed by the sky above A pillow of peace for your head The gentle rocking of the current below renders the perfect bed You're resting now beneath a shroud of misty slumber deep A nightly trip down to the slip for your voyage into sleep |
