Lullabies and Princes on White Horses

Ok I couldn't sleep a few nights ago (think my insomnia is coming back again). Usually I'd just drop onto my bed and next minute I'm in dreamland but lately it's taking me a couple of hours to sleep, and then I wake up and sleep again. It's annoying because I toss and turn around the whole bloody night and I'm feeling so uncomfortable.

And that got me thinking: what would one's future partner do in times like this? Sing them to sleep. Very endearing habit. Then I got into a sort of idea of what kind of lullaby Russell would sing. It's cringe-worthy, I understand but I really like some verses.

When the sky turns to rain
My brave little girl don't despair (yes, I think being called a little girl is rather endearing in some ways)
Help will come riding
Like a prince on a white horse
I'll be that prince someday (love these sentences)

I will slay dragons
And keep you from harm
I'll be a knight in Arthur's realm (another childhood fantasy--I love King Arthur)
Together we will be
Always and forever
Nothing will break us down

Whatever they say will not affect us
Whatever they scream will never hurt
As long as we're together
Nothing can break us down

When the sky turns to rain
My brave little girl don't despair
Help will come riding
Like a prince on a white horse
I'll be that prince someday
