Full moon lullaby

from Driftwood by The Imaginary Suitcase

about

Do you know this state, not awake anymore, but not yet asleep, when unexpected thoughts take advantage of the fact the barriers of rationality are weakaned to storm your mind? You simply recall the events of the day, or you anticipate with an inner smile what you'll do tomorrow, or you have warming thoughts of a nice memory you thought you lost, or you're confronted with the cold, crude and sad truth that you'll die one day.

When you get to bed, you can't predict what type of thoughts will come to you, that's what this song is attempting to capture.

lyrics

Hold your pillow tight
You don’t know what’s coming tonight
Hold your pillow dear
The cold of night is drawing so near

Funny how the moon will play with shadows on the walls
Keeping your spirit awake
Everything you dimly guess will seem twice as tall
Until the morning finally breaks

You may think they came for you
You may believe they’ll take you
To a place where all laws are broken
But in truth they’ll just pass by
They’ll just entertain your eyes
With silent tales always unspoken

Hold your pillow tight
Leave the day behind
Hold your pillow dear
The full moon will capture your fears
