Asleep or reading it

My thumb still holds the place I was

But barely, barely now

The room is honey, slow and deep

And sinking's allowed

Just let the letters swim

The book will love you just the same

Asleep or reading it

Heavy eyes, you've earned the weight

Just let the letters swim

The book will love you just the same

Asleep or reading it

The words are getting softer now

And so, at last, am I
