Ghost of Pekin Brook

Might be true, might not.

 

THEY SAY THE GHOST OF PEKIN BROOK

IS ON THE RISE ONCE MORE

A SOUL IS SEARCHING FOR SOME PEACE

LOST AND FAR FROM SHORE

        FALLING, FALLING, FADING AWAY

SOME THEY CLAIM A MURDERED MAN

FOR MERCY HE DOES CRY

HIS HANDS ARE RAISED UNTO THE AIR

HIS EYES STILL WONDER WHY

        FALLING, FALLING, FADING AWAY

OTHERS SWEAR THE SIGHT THEY’VE SEEN

IT WEARS A WEDDING GOWN

A LOOK OF HOPE UPON HER FACE

HER GAZE UPON THE TOWN

        FALLING, FALLING, FADING AWAY

TIME REIGNS HOLLOW ON THIS NIGHT

A BLUE MOON LIGHTS THE WAY

SPIRITS LINGER HOLDING TIGHT 

AS BODIES TURN TO CLAY

        FALLING, FALLING, FADING AWAY

NO ONE KNOWS THE STORY

NO ONE LEFT TO TELL

TIDES TURN AND WORK THEIR MAGIC SPELL

        FALLING, FALLING, FADING AWAY

        FALLING, FALLING, FADING AWAY

Inspired by my daughter's "lack of sleep" patterns.

 

PLEASE GIVE ME FIVE LITTLE MINUTES OF SLEEP

I CAN’T MAKE IT THIS WAY I CAN’T STAY ON MY FEET

SEE MY EYELIDS DRAGGING ON THE SOLES OF MY SHOES

BEEN UP SINCE FOUR I THINK I PAID ENOUGH DUES

I NEED TO LUMBER DOWN TO SLUMBER TOWN AND SAW MYSELF A LOG OR TWO

JUST ONE WINK IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK OF YOU

MY ENERGY IS NEARLY GONE MY MIND WENT YESTERDAY

THERE’S NOTHING LEFT THERE AIN’T NO MORE MY WORDS JUST DRIFT AWAY

 

SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP THAT’S ALL I NEED

MY ONLY DREAM IS SLEEP

 

I HOPED MY PLAN TODAY WOULD LET ME BRUSH MY TEETH BEFORE THE SUN WENT DOWN

OR MAYBE, DARE TO DREAM, GET DRESSED AND MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO TOWN

NOW HOLD ON HERE, GET A GRIP, CHECK REALITY

YOU’RE THE ON WHO HOLDS THE CARDS THE GAME’S NOT UP TO ME

STILL THERE’S A LOT OF REALLY LOVELY THINGS THAT SHOULD BE SAID ON YOUR BEHALF

YOU MAKE ME PROUD, YOU MAKE ME SMILE YOU MAKE ME LIFT MY HEAD AND LAUGH

BUT THAT’LL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER SONG

THIS ONE’S DONE, YOUR MOM IS HOME, AND I’VE BEEN UP TOO LONG

 

SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP THAT’S ALL I NEED

MY ONLY DREAM IS SLEEP
