Lullaby (just sleep)

Let yourself in
to a sailing ship
it will take you nowhere
but you just need to get up on it

The ship smells like
fresh sandalwood
because
that's what it's made of

The sheets
smell like
sweet clean cotton
because
that's what they're made of

Close your eyes
pretty small one
Just listen to the heavy waves breaking
on the edges
of your eyelids

So heavy
that
now's not the time
to be thinking about
what you've gotta do
or who has you on their mind

So sleep sleep
sweet pretty slumber
will give you all the answers you need
but you'll only get them tomorrow

Sleep sleep
just for this moment
be warm
and don't listen to
the cars crashing around you

And yes
there are people
yelling and screaming over there
but they're not screaming
about you i'm sure

I am sure.

They aren't on this ship
(little crazy darling)
They aren't on this road
or in this protected abode

So sleep sleep,
sweet divine slumber
they are not on this trip
they are not in this ship

So just sleep
(sleep sleep, sweet divine slumber...)

zzzzzzz....
