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

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
