Do you realise

That you have your best sleep

In the hours before midnight

I never thought of it that way

It is common sense

As you usually waste those hours

In a pub or watching television

It is so logical so very simple

But you are a nighthawk Bernard

It is because I cannot sleep

I do not watch television or drink

I just travel without a destination in mind

And then I take advantage of the declining hours

You are always next to me when I wake up

And so I am but I am not always there

You often sleep alone until the early hours

But I can feel you there

Seriously I can feel you next to me

Those are your dreams Muriel

Vivid dreams but nonetheless dreams
