Wrap me around you

Wrap me around you,

and tell me a story

and tell it soft and tell it warm

and tell it long,

because I can’t sleep.

The night is just beginning

and the stars are wide awake,

there are lights somewhere at a distance,

there is noise inside my head

and I can’t sleep.

I know you had a long day,

I know you had a hard day

but it has been a while,

since you whispered words in my ears

and I don’t want to keep you awake

but I feel so alone

so broken.

so damaged

on my side of the bed.

So tell me a story,

like you used to do,

tales of dreams in a different world

unbelievable.

majestic, even silly.

I want to hear your voice again

and vanish into the world of your fancies,

and not feel the heaviness in this one that doesn't seem to lift for a while.

Make me some promises and feel free to break,

but make them anyways

you know I am easy to please,

so wrap me around you and promise me your love,

even for a moment.

promise me the freedom from tomorrow and today,

the regrets of yesterday.

I want to feel warm and complete,

and then melt and disappear

before you.
