Rock me till I find deep sleep
Lull me with a sad soft song
I'll lay here and count my sheep
Rest's all I've wanted all along
But I'll lay awake and do nothing but weep

10:23 pm
The bitter black night is only my enemy
Unfortunately still wide awake
Stop sitting here restlessly
Stop thinking bout it for goodness sake!
But I'll lay awake and pretend you're next to me

11:49 pm
Great crown of thorns gleaming on my head
Pretending that I'm okay
Just telling myself, "Hush and go to bed"
Praying from my problems, my mind will stray
But I'll lay awake and wish I were dead

12:00 am
I float off slowly
And in dreams I'm less lonely
