My eyes close like the curtains after a play

and my mind opens like a vista, gold in hue. 

And my thoughts run like a river under an ocean

and the sandman is given his due (yes he is, yes he is)



I can't wait for me to get some sleep.

The sandman is on his midnight creep.

Slumber enter, take me deep, until I am rested.



My dreams sore like an angel in flight

and my worries run like the sunshine runs from the night.



I can't wait for me to get some sleep.

The sandman is on his midnight creep.

Slumber enter, looking skyward, counting sheep.

I pray the lord my soul to keep until I am rested.

Goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite…
