pray for night…
slumber…
to dream…to dream…

quiet…
purple…
the moon does not haunt me…

wee hours of morn…
a street light glows…
church bells do not sound…

and i lay alone…
in this bed…this bed…
darkness is my love…

day’s troubles and woes are gone…
sleep takes me in…
for i am far…far away…

till day comes…
