Look through the trees. The light's left no traces.

Synchronized spiders spin jeweled clock faces

Unbutton your clothes, loosen your laces

The fountains of daylight have dried.

Mother cooled your fevered forehead

Soon she will again.

Father tightened your bird nest covers

Soon he will again.

A dry breeze unlocks leaves from the branches

Pull tight your dream veils and sleep.

The screens and the windows let in the night.

The cushions you sleep on conform to your flight.

Yesterday's shadow will be morning's first light

And for now let this peace grace your heart.

Mother cooled your fevered forehead

Soon she will again.

Father tightened your bird nest covers

Soon he will again.

A dry breeze unlocks leaves from the branches

Pull tight your dream veils and sleep.

Far away somewhere, the rooms and exploding

Cold-sweating soldiers, their rifles are loading

Life is a boat, that we ride through the dark

Sweet is the breeze I the sails of our ark,

Drift with a gamelon heart.

Mother cooled your fevered forehead

Soon she will again.

Father tightened your bird nest covers

Soon he will again.

A dry breeze unlocks leaves from the branches

Pull tight your dream veils and sleep.
