And I swear I'll go to sleep.
No fairy tales though please
They all have demons to defeat.
No lullaby nor haunting air
For the Sandman is a troll
and that will not pay my fare.
Speak for me a charm
A talisman of truth and words
That will keep me out of harm.
A token I can carry
As I cross the river Lethe
So the ghosts of things I've lost
Won't plague me in my dreams.
