Slumber's Lullaby

Slumber’s Lullaby

Right as I’m feelin’ inspired

My eyelids are becomin’ a tad heavy

I hate to say it, but I’m getting’ really tired

Time’s slowin’ down, the gentle sound of my fan whirring

The comforting sound of Amy Winehouse’s raspy voice gently caressing my ears

With her and slumber knockin’, I don’t need any drugs to feel like I’m on another spiritual plane

‘Cause Amy and Slumber are just massaging my senses, and sleep is getting near,

“Time for sleep, honey……close your eyes……” Now I’m in a daze…..

And I follow heavenly Slumber’s advice, her hypnotizing words

I lay my head down on my pillow and finally shut my eyes

I grab my blankets, huddle into them and begin to curl,

Into the foetus position, all the while Slumber sings me a sweet, sweet lullaby,

“Sleep, child, sleep

 While I tend to the sheep

And shake the dreamland tree

And from it fall sweet dreams for thee

Sleep, child, sleep

Sleep, child, sleep

Sleep, boy, sleep

While I reinvigorate your body

And restore your tired psyche

And from it you’ll feel inspirited and free

Sleep, boy, sleep

Sleep, boy, sleep”

And as I finally fall into unconsciousness

Slumber has one last thing to say

“Go to sleep, child, you need your rest…..”
