I find myself finding it harder to sleep at night I can't help thinking maybe it's the light I turn it off and my mind creates images you can only see in the dark I turn it back on and my thoughts go on and on I toss and turn and close my eyes I can hear the clock ticking as time flies I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling please let me sleep, I am more than willing For a while I can feel myself drifting away Hello sleep, I'm on my way But the voices The lights They won't let me sleep Playing in my mind like an eager child I'm ragged Weary Drowing in my own thoughts I close my eyes and try again I can feel daytime crawling on my window I need more time, I wish I could borrow

Sleep
I find myself finding it harder to sleep at night I can't help thinking maybe it's the light I turn it off and my mind creates images you can only see in the dark I turn it back on and my thoughts go on and on I toss and turn and close my eyes I can hear the clock ticking as time flies I open my eyes and stare at the ceiling please let me sleep, I am more than willing For a while I can feel myself drifting away Hello sleep, I'm on my way But the voices The lights They won't let me sleep Playing in my mind like an eager child I'm ragged Weary Drowing in my own thoughts I close my eyes and try again I can feel daytime crawling on my window I need more time, I wish I could borrow
