Elusive Sleep

Elusive Sleep The sun retired right on cue and darkness set in - nothing new but no thanks to that silent play I couldn't let go of the day While everyone was fast asleep I lay there madly counting sheep no fairies, sandman not in sight just blasted whispers "not tonight" no one to sing a lullaby so yes, I had a real good cry some solid zzz’s was all I asked a bit of sanity to grasp Oh sleep, why did you fight me so? the morning's come, just so you know I'll not forget you in the light the chase is on again tonight
