dream would have it,<br /> <br /> A coon hisses from behind<br /> With teeth twice the size<br /> Tail fluffed, ready to pounce<br /> Down underneath our feet<br /> The farm gators beckon<br /> Crunching gravel they wait<br /> But you just laugh<br /> laugh till you cry<br /> Baby doll, this is your daydream<br /> Meant to put you asleep<br /> Be happy my girl,<br /> I will hold you safe if you need<br /> Be strong my love,<br /> I speak coon, I'll send them off<br /> <br /> I roll across the bed,<br /> Oh me, oh my<br /> Half a laugh, more a sigh<br /> It worked, no wonder why<br /> Awake again, a new dream to come<br /> My head falls back, my eyes do shut<br /> My mind wanders back to you<br /> Our hands are held, our lips do lock<br /> The light turns green<br /> Look the clock just turned twelve.Landra
