I’m A Sleeper

Hey I'm a sleeper
Down and deeper
Dropping pennies in a well that much too cold
Why do I care?
Is it I think there wishes in there
And how I close my eyes going under
At the well of the whispering wonders

Now where's my daydream, a frosted ice cream?
I can't sit around and wait for things to come
I'm not a fool, can't waste my time, I've got big things to do

So come on, don't be long, lead me to it
And I'll tell how the well likes to do it

[Instrumental Interlude]

Now don't be tricky, I'm too old
I'm a well and I got wishes of my own…
Feel lucky, you're not like me
You can touch and heal and see a little girl so bold
With their little clothes and their smiles are gold

Ah, yes sir
I'm a sleeper
Down and deeper
Holding pennies in a well
I'm much too cold
I'm not a fool, no
Can't waste your time
I've got big things to do

So come on, don't be long
Lead me to it
And you'll see how the well likes to do it…

[Instrumental fadeout]
