Just Lay Down

I can't fall asleep With you on my mind tonight I need to lay down I can't close my eyes And drift into sweet slumber I lay my head down I can't stop my thoughts From racing vigorously Tonight, I'm in bed I finally give in to sleep... It took a while... To count all of my sheep In my mind's eye... I'm a shepherd by the sheep's side Like David in the bible... Except I'm on a different ride... Which means I can't emphasize with the hardships he has been through... Only my own... But that's nothing special and new... But, I wish I can sparkle anew Like you I Lay Down and drown In blue Waters...but that's nothing new... those thoughts of depression Are as fresh as dew...it sticks to me Like glue
