To sleep now would be acceptance of defeat
So I will lay awake 'til morning comes
Lay awake 'til mourning passes

The wind outside makes a beat
Lovely music to my ears
But the pulsing on the window makes me shiver

A good nights sleep is quite a treat
One that I have not had for years
But one that I hope to have again

I need to feel another body's heat
To lull me to a deep, deep sleep
Someone to ward off the nightmares
To ward off the thoughts
