MISTRESS READ BY GO STREALY 3/22-29/2020

There’s a shadow over me,
Mistress Read, Mistress Read,
There’s a shadow over me,
Mistress Read.

I’m slipping through that portal
The portal calls me: “Come forth and stay”
I’m up all night, I can’t sleep in the day
Try to go to sleep, try and try to sleep

Shadow, (shadow) shadow (shadow) LIGHT
Shadow, (shadow) shadow (shadow) LIGHT

I can’t sleep at night, Someone wants to hold me tight
But I can’t let go the grip on my fears
My fears feel like a friend. I just want this day to end
But my sleep is far away; The sandman jeers.

Shadow, (shadow) shadow (shadow) LIGHT
Shadow, (shadow) shadow (shadow) LIGHT

I can’t go to sleep, I have promises to keep
Blackness with the words of white upon my knees
I start to fall away, turn to ride the dream highway
Then the pillow on my cheek becomes a breeze.

Which one is the dream? which one is reality?
I don’t know I’m asleep until I wake up from a really good dream

I know it is time to sleep
I will watch and wait for thee
(Promises, promises to keep)
There’s a shadow over me, Mistress Read.
