As I Lay Awake This Night

The woe's and the why's, Lay heavy on my eye's, Making me feel alone, As I lay awake this night. Had done and would be's, Cause me to squirm, To toss and to turn, As I lay awake this night. Dreams and fantasies, Plague me relentlessly, I wish they'd let me be, As I lay awake this night. I switch the light on, I switch the light off, All the while feeling lost, As I lay awake this night. I flick through a book, Before picking up my pen, So to my own words I tend, As I lay awake this night. I write of my joy's and my woes, Of my wants and my deeds, All as consciousness flee's, As I'd lain awake this night. I open my eye's, To a new morning, That outside is dawning, As I lay awake, sunlight.
