Tell Me a Story

Tell me a Story Krista Detor

Knocked the sandman off my eyelids

Threw him out my bedroom window

Tooth fairy on my dresser stole money from my drawer.

And Santa Claus up in my chimney

Ate the cookies that you made me

Cupid put away his bow and won’t be back here anymore

Tell me a story, make it pretty

Tell me another story, boy

Tell me you love me, tell me

Leprechaun took all my gold I didn’t find him fast enough

The rainbow came and went and I was left with only rain

Easter bunny hopped into a hole

And took his basket with him

And the good witch of the north said every home is pretty much the same

And I am overcome by sounds of drowning men on a ghost ship - on a rough sea;

Overcome by how you don’t look at me when you say what you say to me.

The boogieman’s still in my closet dancing with a vampire while

The monster underneath my bed is tangled in the phone wire

And the angel of darkness is drinking with your mother

Drinking brandy from a demitasse And smiling like a lover

Tell me a story, make it pretty

Tell me another story, boy

Tell me you love me, tell me
