Sleep Tight, Princess

Trees shadowing in moonlight
Silver veil upon a child’s sight
Dreams come alive with last snowflake’s fall
Calling for a snowman behind the door
Dreamer’s bound in a lullaby’s sound

Tales of a wandering poet
Memory lost in his mind
Spellbound dance upon a song unveiled
Dreamless eternity for the last ride

Awaiting still beyond the horizon quivering deep
Sea of blind eyes of imaginary fields resting in sleep

Songwriter’s tale of lifetime agony
Faded poet’s memory
Theme park dreaming him into the dark
Leading him through the time to a child’s heart
To a swaying cradle
Tiny burning candle
Lost kite through the sky
Midnight without a lullaby

Memory road through the silence
Childhood awe across the empty streets
Dark dream from the past
Fearghosts of abandoned circus

Awaiting still beyond the horizon quivering deep
Sea of blind eyes of imaginary fields resting in sleep

Songwriter’s tale of lifetime agony
Faded poet’s memory
Theme park dreaming him into the dark
Leading him through the time to a child’s heart
To a swaying cradle
Tiny burning candle
Lost kite through the sky
Midnight without a lullaby

His precious arabesque
Last spin for this night
Dear Princess, sleep tight
In this winter of magic

Theme park dreaming him into the dark
Leading him through the time to a child’s heart
To a swaying cradle
Tiny burning candle
Lost kite through the sky
Midnight without a lullaby
