in that bed
where not once you slept
laying at your side
reading me tales of wonder
making my mind wonder

drifting me to the sea
on a fine evening

i saw the salty drop
of a twilight dew
falling away

windy evenings were the best
with our house eyes wide awake

the gentle wind who would
whispered sweet dreams
whisking me to a world of sleep

ca-coned with your love
and those honey rays of sun

folding me
packing me
like a love letter for your darling

ever so slowly
closing the lid
falling off to sleep
