Just Let Me Sleep
....." Just Let Me Sleep " ....
In bed wrapped up under a soft silk cover ,
The need to sleep, but my mind wants another ,
Where counting sheep just doesn't work ,
And closing your eyes is where the monsters lurk,
With muddled up thoughts that make no sence,
Unable to close my eyes from being so tense ,
Rays of moonlight shining through my windowpane ,
With a brain that's raceing driving me insane ,
Wishing this tiredness would let me just close my eyes ,
So I could Just drift of into a sleepy bye byes ,
And you can not sleep because of the pain,
It's a vicious circle over and over again ,
Starring at the ceiling while my partner is asleep ,
If only peaceful dreams ,I could keep ,
When the ticking of a clock sounds so noisily
And every second you long to be free ,
Lost sence of time in this sleepless hell,
Where my bedroom my prison, my bed my cell ,
Or drowning in a ocean where the waters so deep,
And all I ask is please , please, let me sleep ....
