Sleep, shivering lion Let the silence of the warm night Bring you all the hope you need Sadness will wait until the morrow Let the moon Look down on you with kind eyes For it knows what it is to be alone And so tired of shining Of being cold. Sleep. Lie by the river Wet your brow Wish the water over you And breathe clearly for once Sink And only swim in the morrow Sadness can wait Dream Live the sunken lives of your ridden days Watch the stars twinkle on your paws Never wake till you're ready again Gentle, shivering lion.

A Lion's Lullaby
Sleep, shivering lion Let the silence of the warm night Bring you all the hope you need Sadness will wait until the morrow Let the moon Look down on you with kind eyes For it knows what it is to be alone And so tired of shining Of being cold. Sleep. Lie by the river Wet your brow Wish the water over you And breathe clearly for once Sink And only swim in the morrow Sadness can wait Dream Live the sunken lives of your ridden days Watch the stars twinkle on your paws Never wake till you're ready again Gentle, shivering lion.
Sometimes being depressed is exhausting and being alone is suffocating. We all need time to let the fever break.
