The tower of Slumber

i need to sit down

i just need to lay down

i see that you want to talk to me

you want me to be vertical

but my friend, i am far too tired for that

i need to rest for ten years 

and then you can come to my tower,

kiss me hello, 

and lay down by my side

while i get up

come now, you should rise too!

there's so much to do

places we'll see

paintings we'll paint

come on, 

why won't you get up?

let me give your forehead one kiss

oh, how the sheets look like water

let me lie next to you

why is it you shuffle? 

hush, hush, don't rustle
