Prepare my eyelids with care Show things my thoughts don't dare Dust them and keep them all clean No stains allowed on the screen Blow out the blaze in my eyes Sing me lullabies Sway my soul soft into sleep One sheep, two sheep, three, four, five, six Cloaked up in malice, phantoms of friends Are chasing me over the fields Sandstorms and locusts and warriors in shields Try to block my race over the lands Dry fountain swallows my frame and shadow Earthbelly opens its door Moisty's the cavern that urges me on Face to face with the crow Don't wake me up with a scream Sweating moonbeams Sway me to sleep one again Seven, eight, nine, ten Wardrums and voices are chanting the hymns Rain has been falling down for several years Moisty's the fireplace, playgrounds are wet I am counting to ten, counting to nine Counting to three, counting to one Playing hide and seek with the sun Eyes are raised inn hope and prayers for better days No sunshine falls on the blade that's risen to stay
