Sleepyland

I’d love to stay
But I haven’t got all day
To play under the stars
Time seems so far
As night waves hello
Hearts smile adieu
For waiting on a cloud
There is a special delivery
Via the moon’s brilliance
Let’s take a chance
Let’s float away
Up into a place
Beyond dawns gaze
Where nothing is strange
Please believe
Or how else would we ever
Fall asleep

(Written for Louise)
