Sleepy Hollow Poem by Mark Heathcote

Waking up in Sleepy Hollow, I'll be near to you
so close to you, you'll feel me tremble inside
but I'll not shiver with you in my world.

This place might have a headless horseman
but I don't mind waking up three times
each night - each night - each night next to you.

Oh, he can slay the others, each one a victim-
he can decapitate them all, but you are mine!
'Sugar, ' goes to the cave-dwelling of the sorceress.

And she'll teach you how to demystify
the look of love on your face and with iodine
she'll heal your wounds and suppress your pain.

Anon, anon, anon
and like an autumn leaf, you'll fall at my feet
undress, each night - each night - each night:

Anon, anon, anon in Sleepy Hollow,
we'll hear the hoofs of that dismounting
Headless Horseman:

Anon, anon, anon
night after night, Night after night
just before he bites Lady Van Tassel
fulfilling her end of the deal with the Devil.
