i feel as if i could sleep don't you know
at least for a thousand years
the only dream that i would dream
is to be out of here

i'm worn slap out don't you know
down to the marrow bone
the only thing you can do for me now
is to leave me alone

i need the rest don't you know
mind, body, and soul
make my way to my unmade bed
letting it all go

what used to be bright to me now
is the shade beyond the color of dull
i'm worn and tired set to retire
where sleep is all i need don't you know
