This is about a woman who just couldn’t fall asleep
Being awake is not my soul to keep
I just want a good night’s sleep
It won’t happen tonight
I am counting sheep upon sheep night after night
Awake in pure darkness without the light
Everyone in the house falls asleep but me
Eating in the middle of the night is out
Because I can’t sleep I just want to shout
Those that can’t sleep also know what I am talking about
Countless hours looking around the room
Clock ticking, but the next day no way coming soon
Please eyes just drop so I can fall asleep
Just give me that snooze control in sleep
The night seems to be extra long
My desperation for sleep is almost gone
There won’t be a wake up morning in yond
The walls and ceiling I will have to constantly to look upon.
