Sleepless

i'm waiting waiting night for night
feeling the darkness missing light
i'm waiting mournful waiting sad
why should i go to bed

i'm waiting waiting day for day
but fear and grief won't go away
the moon is laughing and i cry
and hope night will go by

i'm waiting waiting all the time
between the words behind the rhyme
the fear in me gets more and more
i'm waiting and know not what for


i wait and watch time going by
and throw my words into the sky
