Welcomed Stranger

Oh illusive sleep that rides in on the back of the evening sun, 

do not let me wake till tomorrow has begun.

Let me catch a thousand dreams before the dawn, 

do not let me toss and turn till early morn.

In the twinkle of the brightest star, 

let the energy in my body be reborn.

Oh come back to me Prince of Night.

Turn around your winged flight.

Do not allow me to toss and turn.

Do not allow my eyes to burn.

Cover me with your great blanket of sleep.

Let me slip into your darkness deep.

Sleep oh illusive sleep, 

return to me, 

this I plea.
