Sleep so maybe you won’t hear
The call of carnival close your window
Turn off the light
Sleep like a young boy out of fear
Running like the leaves
Down the sidewalk autumn night
Sleep so maybe you won’t feel
The air is blowing cold
The dead don’t fear
To take a chill
Sleep the autumn is still young
As you are growing old
With the turn of the furious wheel
The autumn’s coming
Bringing sorrow and grey
The autumn’s coming
always here to stay
The wails of a lifetime
Are all gathered in it The shadows are rustling
Can you feel yourself caught in this trap
Sleep slumbers crawl
Fast slow like the river flow
Wait till the dreams will come
Weap you up and arm like the autumn shade
The dark isn’t far stay here as you are
Try not to think
You had to run with a night like this
So the sadness could not hurt
Dream on
