Sleep
When I Sleep......
Nightmares haunt me in my sleep
And chase away the pleasant dreams
One by one they steal my sleep
And leave me with a need to flee
These mares they have an evil plan
To steal the sleep from all the land
And as they charge into my dreams
They steal the peace I need to sleep
I lay down now to feed the need
To rest my eyes, I need the sleep
Sandman come and storm near me
I need your help
To get my sleep
Tempest bless me with your clock
Tick and Tock
Please make time stop
Wind and rain and thunder strong
Cease my mind and lull me along
Mother Nature hear my plea
Keep me safe, watch over me
Give me wings to reach my dreams
But keep me safe from these dangerous things
The night mares
They still come for me
But now they find I can't be reached
At last I find a peaceful sleep
With all of thee protecting me
Come now and stay by me
Provide me with
A good night's sleep
But let it end at daylight's break
I am alive
My soul is safe
