Never once looking back, the egg in his hold,
He would complete the treasure, the half of gold...

He still wanted to retrieve the egg, in greed he...
How foolish he was to want it still, and yet not...

For an hour he sat on that rocky beach
He kept the half egg just within his reach...

In the cool of the night
And the glow of the moon...

The one I guarded was now gone,
No longer training on the lawn...

On this journey, this life long journey,
It's no picnic or car ride...

Things are bleak, the world is weary
And all the days are dark and dreary...

Once upon a nighttime slumber, counting sheep...
And wondering how I would feel if I should wake...

The Sandman sat there lonely, and that one word he...
Just one word, as if his soul in that one word he...

The gloom of darkness is gone,
It has lifted from the land...

The morning bell chimes to wake from slumber
Endless numbers of those asleep...

I waited for thy answer, came it not.
And all my love was spilt out on this day...
