To be said while falling asleep
I want to sing-in someone,
sit by someone and just be.
I want to rock you and sing you small
and accompany you sleep-in and sleep-out
I want to be the only one in the house,
who would know: the night was cold.
And I want to listen in and out
into you, the world, into the woods.
The chiming clocks call out to each other,
and you get at the bottom of time.
And down there walks a strange man
and disturbs a strange dog.
Beyond silence falls. Keenly
I have laid my eyes upon you;
and they are holding you gently and let you go,
when something moves in the dark.
