‘Lullaby for my father’

Hey~Hey~~~ It was another day

You wanna lie in bed~~~but

Like a little babe you feel scared

It could be a long night again:

Nightmares and pain, insomnia and pain~~~~

Again and again

                               COME, COME TO BED

                               GET OUT OF JAIL

                               FOLLOW THE LIGHT AND

                               ESCAPE~~~

Come, come to bed. Close, close your eyes

Forgive the pain and lose your weight

Be a yellow butterfly and climb

Follow the light in the darkness of your brain

Be brave, be brave!

       COME, COME TO BED

                               GET OUT OF JAIL

                               FOLLOW THE LIGHT AND

                               ESCAPE~~~

Trace, trace a map. Run, run away

Let behind you~~~ the hell

Be a bird~~~ crossing the night

To~night be a painter of your life

Follow the light in the darkness of your brain

Be free~~~ sleep, sleeeeeeeeep!
