Sleep has made a fiend out of me Every night I try to hold out And in the morning, painfully I do what I can to keep the light out Sleep took the love I had for night Sleep, the jealous nagging wife The only true cure for my plight Is the one who threatens my life Sleep is pulling me below It waits down there for me to drown And when my breathe comes low and slow Sleep anoints me with its crown Sleep takes from me time and energy But all is forgiven in a dream

Sleep
Sleep has made a fiend out of me Every night I try to hold out And in the morning, painfully I do what I can to keep the light out Sleep took the love I had for night Sleep, the jealous nagging wife The only true cure for my plight Is the one who threatens my life Sleep is pulling me below It waits down there for me to drown And when my breathe comes low and slow Sleep anoints me with its crown Sleep takes from me time and energy But all is forgiven in a dream
