Obsession
I miss you, need you, want you
Oh thou cruel hearted beast.
When I close my eyes I find the one I see the least.
Wrap me in your warm embrace, caress me while I weep,
Darling let me find you
You’re my one obsession, Sleep.
Seek me in the morning in the grey light of the dawn,
Desert me in the evening when the day has come and gone.
Touch my tired eyes, I give you every dream to keep,
Darling let me find you,
You’re my one obsession, Sleep.
And when I slip beneath the waves, my mind no more distressed,
Hold peace within the moment, and on my pillow rest,
Gift solace in a minute stolen, slumber ever deep,
Then break me on the morrow,
You’re my one obsession, Sleep.
