Sadness landed - Maple Bee

Well, a sadness she landed today

She crept in the bedclothes and awoke with the day

The sunlight shone sun, but silence she won

And the sadness slipped into the bed

This mattress is heavy, she’s winding her way back

Into the darkness that breathes underground

And nudging a space in all the lost dreams

That live in this mattress, held in by the seams

Well, a sadness she landed today

She crept in the night light and awoke with the day

The sunlight she sang her bright silent song

But the sadness slipped under my skin

This head it is heavy, she’s winding her way back

Into the darkness that breathes underground

And nudging a space in all the lost dreams

That live in this mattress held in by the seams

A sadness she landed today

A sadness she landed today
