Morpheus

Patricia Barber - Morpheus

Downright tired in this winter white

Though my best sleep is dressed in black

Ample hours to dream still I lack

Repose and wander through the night

A drink or two blackjack straight through

Till dawn ever unrequited love

Nothing brings peace Heaven above

Send Morpheus to me for I am due

Music

Will you sing softly Will you keep

Watch as the light begins to wane

Steadfast and sweet will you remain

God of my dreams and let me sleep
