Oh So Sleepy

I leave you with your head buried in the pillow

Oh so sleepy, oh so sleepy

As twisted as a knot, as tangled as a wire

Burning like a coal on the open fire

Oh so sleepy, oh so sleepy.

I talk to you in riddles of the drunken sailor

Oh so sleepy, oh so sleepy

As pretty as a rose, as bitter as a thorn

A smear of virgin blood on the broken dawn

Oh so sleepy, oh so sleepy.

Now did you hear the wind, did you ride the carousel

Did you find the seaman's mission, only time can really tell

Or do you see your future in the wishing well

Oh so sleepy, oh so sleepy.

I brush you with a kiss as the moonlight murmurs

Oh so sleepy, oh so sleepy

As simple as defeat, as certain as a toy

Crying like a girl with the future of a boy

Oh so sleepy, oh so sleepy.
