Underneath the starry sky of a forest clearing
I try to sleep by shutting my eyes tightly
But in the deep dark my heart beats
With terrified thoughts of
Snarling grizzlies
Gnawing beavers
Enraged deer
Buzzing insects
My restless night
Can’t end soon enough

Underneath the starry sky of a forest clearing
I try to sleep by shutting my eyes tightly
But in the deep dark my heart beats
With terrified thoughts of
Snarling grizzlies
Gnawing beavers
Enraged deer
Buzzing insects
My restless night
Can’t end soon enough
