Sleepwalk

I just want to write you a happy song
show you that I’m sincere love you, belong,
I just want to write you a rhyming verse
free you of lovers doubt that is your curse.

Where do you go to there within your head?
when you should be sleeping in your warm bed,
wrapped up in sweet dreams ever so fragrant
yet you wander the nights like a vagrant.

Why do you go to this world so shady?
the night so dark not fit for a lady,
your eyes open only to the moonlight
in this place where you go every midnight.

Oh we need to relive our gangnam style
come down to earth and dance a little while,
every single step a journey by chance
into your pretty eyes I need to glance.

Yes I need to write you a happy song
put to right all this evil that is wrong,
find out where you go when you are alone
to free your nomadic mind your cyclone.

Then a need to write you a rhyming verse
put to right this affliction that’s getting worse,
every night amongst the scented jarrow
sleepwalking the streets ever so narrow.

You sound like a wonderful white knight set to rescue a lovely maiden in this sweet poem, Harry. A woman who is sleepwalking through her life. Very romantic!
