Sleep Talk

The words you speak are slow and few
not always making sense
Every night it's something new
though words you do not mince

You tell your fears from time to time
The boogie man seems real
No matter how high you climb
He's making you his meal

Sometimes you just say funny things
You even laugh out loud
Sometimes your favorite songs you sing
When done you take a bow

When morning comes you're up and out
You're secrets I will keep
It's obvious, there is no doubt
You were talking in your sleep
