It's the quietest time of night
Where the moon has peaked
All is hushed
And you're supposed to be asleep
But your mind plays games
Making noise that keep you awake
Mocking your restlessness and fears
Little monsters play tug-of-war
And swing from moonlit chandeliers
I Find comfort in the dark
A pitch black tranquility
But little monsters search for a thought
To keep me awake unwillingly
Heart steadies like the sea
Holding on to the evanescent dreams
Waiting for the pounce of little feet
Jumping on on you like a trampoline
They've finally tuckered themselves out
From running about
They curl up beside me
And count their sheep
Beside little monsters
I sleep

It's the quietest time of night
Where the moon has peaked
All is hushed
And you're supposed to be asleep
But your mind plays games
Making noise that keep you awake
Mocking your restlessness and fears
Little monsters play tug-of-war
And swing from moonlit chandeliers
I Find comfort in the dark
A pitch black tranquility
But little monsters search for a thought
To keep me awake unwillingly
Heart steadies like the sea
Holding on to the evanescent dreams
Waiting for the pounce of little feet
Jumping on on you like a trampoline
They've finally tuckered themselves out
From running about
They curl up beside me
And count their sheep
Beside little monsters
I sleep
