Man in the Moon

Sinking down into the covers
Sleep to the beat of your heart

Spinning all around this most peculiar room

Such a lovely world, oh so magical
Precious like a pearl wrapped up in a shell
Build your house of stone on a bed of sand
Time and tide will rise,
Washing through your hands..."
