Amidst the solace of a night When all appears as if it's right I look towards the Eastern shore And realize that it's black no more. The sky in hues of purple-blue Gives hint that soon the sun will rise I listen for the silence which brings peace to all my sleepless nights But in its place the birds awake They're chirping should bring peace to most But not to me, not when I see, through reddened deadened weary eyes Which haven't had the peace of sleep Not on this very night at least At least if sleep brought constant peace The chirping birds would be so sweet Instead when sleep comes randomly The solace of the dead of night is dreaded with the end in sight The sky now hues of softer blues The sounds of morning traffic grows The sun breaks over Eastern shores If only I could see in it the beauty that most others see But it's been years of sleepless nights And years of dreading morning light But soon enough the sky so bright Will call me forth into the sun And then, sometimes, I feel it's worth I see the birds I see the world And everything seems to be right If only for a moment I find peace and that's a cherished thought.

Sleepless Nights
Amidst the solace of a night When all appears as if it's right I look towards the Eastern shore And realize that it's black no more. The sky in hues of purple-blue Gives hint that soon the sun will rise I listen for the silence which brings peace to all my sleepless nights But in its place the birds awake They're chirping should bring peace to most But not to me, not when I see, through reddened deadened weary eyes Which haven't had the peace of sleep Not on this very night at least At least if sleep brought constant peace The chirping birds would be so sweet Instead when sleep comes randomly The solace of the dead of night is dreaded with the end in sight The sky now hues of softer blues The sounds of morning traffic grows The sun breaks over Eastern shores If only I could see in it the beauty that most others see But it's been years of sleepless nights And years of dreading morning light But soon enough the sky so bright Will call me forth into the sun And then, sometimes, I feel it's worth I see the birds I see the world And everything seems to be right If only for a moment I find peace and that's a cherished thought.
