Sleep


[Sleep]

Please take me under your enchanting escape

and wrap me up in your imaginative tape.

I know I'd better run fromyour drowsy drawl, 

but I'm selfish enough to relish in it all. 

Even if it only lasts for a little while, 

the pain descends to a slight ache.

And that all I need - 

Just one short break.
