/>Sleepy is the eye right<br />Sleepy is the nose<br />And before the night begins<br />All three begin to close<br /><br />GW<br /><br />--------------------------------------------<br /><br />6.<br /><br />When I close my leafless eyes<br />It takes spring to lift the lids<br />All through the winter night I lie<br />Until the thaw, my waking bids<br /><br />GW<br /><br

after noon<br />If I don't sleep I get radgy<br />So out of my way<br />& let me<br />snooze<br /><br />MT<br /><br />--------------------------------------------<br /><br />3.<br /><br />Down down downy down<br />The duvet furls into a frown<br />Within, the goblin in his lair<br />Sleepy G with curly hair<br /><br />GW<br /><br />--------------------------------------------<br /><br />2.<br

warm<br />water on or off<br />All thoughts are left behind<br />In the flow of deep<br />Night currents<br /><br />Are we really awake then<br />Or asleep now<br /><br />YR<br /><br /><br
