Go To Sleep

Go to sleep

At least lie here awhile

Best to look straight through your eyelids

Count or listen to the voices

But don't go out and down to the landing

Give it time enough

I'll check the clock

And you'l be still until I leave

The living room is on

And lights are blaring

With the T V

And you say

Clap once for me and I'll know

I'll be watching on my pillow

Clap twice I'll see what you mean

It was one for the other team

Go to sleep or at least keep the light off

I'll see it shining through the cracks

You may be missing some things

But if you leave it open

Some of them might come back
