10/20/07; inspired by Poets Of The Fall, Sleep.

sleep, darling, close those little eyes

you know I hold you dear

just leave this cruel world behind

don't worry and don't fear

---

sleep, sugar, for the world is cold

sleep, for the war has died

he's taken you away from me

away into the night

---

sleep now, my sweetest, in my arms

I promise I won't cry

just sleep a little while I sing

a mother's lullaby.
