Go Back To Sleep

Go back to sleep, dont let the terrors flare

dont fear the nightmares, under the moon's intense glare

I'll be there, the night watchman, listen to my voice

as the dreams drift in, rejoice

I never left just floated into dreams of pain

flowed on streams into sleep so strained

those who needed my help I took in my arms

to bring them calm against the storm

Against the tidal flood of screams

into the muddy nightmare dreams

I fought the evils under the stars

and sang my lullabies to ease weary hearts

Go back to sleep, drift on cotton clouds

dont fear the thunders call however loud

the rumble is just a noise after all

and The night watchman stands high and tall

Go back to sleep, dont fear the bogeyman you dread

or the hands under the bed

never alone the watcher fought on

the nightkeepers have the throne

As the lightning shows the way this dark night

dont fear the crashing sounds or the beast out of sight

the watchman is here to protect, against the shapes in the dark

the fears that cripple and clutch at your heart

Go back to sleep, dont fret the icy cold fingers

their chill wont get to linger

lay down your head and listen to the sounds on the air

dont fret, I am there

Thanks for reading,

Peace & Love.
