I hardly slept at all last night
and as a little boy might say
it’s not fault mom and dad
I’m not the one to blame
I was kept up on night by a bear
who should bare all the shame
In his furry arms I should lay
forgetting all my woes
In the midst of blue I should dream
before I become so too
but my bear my friend forgot his job
to guard what’s true
and protect what’s mine
But before I went to bed
I forgot to pat his head
and now he’s rather cross you see
If I were to go to sleep
I’m afraid my bear would say
let me keep you company
with the demons you hide away
In his curse you will see
what I would rather not believe
that I lost a friend to my memory
and replaced him with my loving misery.
