Nights

It’s nights like this,

That gets me thinking,

Thinking about nothing.

 

It’s nights like this,

That gets me dreaming,

Dreaming about thinking.

 

It’s nights like this,

That gets me wondering,

Wondering about dreaming.

 

It’s nights like this,

That gets me contemplating,

Contemplating about wondering.

 

It’s nights like this,

That gets me deciding,

Deciding about contemplating.

 

It’s nights like this,

That gets me nothing,

Nothing about…

 

Deciding

Contemplating

Wondering

Dreaming

Thinking

 

Because it’s nights like this,

That thoughts cannot be greater than a wish.
