A passing lyric

The sleep walker

As she lay her down to sleep 

she prays the bed, her body keep 

and if she walks before she wakes 

she’ll miss the journey that she’ll take 

and as she drifts into her sheet 

her body gets up on its feet 

Her legs begin to step and move 

while her mind rests in soothe 

Where will she go

down sleep walkers row 

is one thing she’ll never know 

As when her journey is finally done 

she wakes in bed under the sun 

day is loud, and sun is bright 

and the story of the sleep walker 

is only for night.
