I Couldn't Sleep

I couldn't sleep
This night that's passed
No dreams
To pass the time
Just a single song
Which means so much
Running round
This head of mine

No Sandman
Came to visit
Not an angel,
Ghost or fairy
Just the demons
Of insomnia
Stealing
My sleep from me

Now my eyes
Carry my life's baggage
Weighed down
By troubles and woe
Oh, restful sleep
Join me tonight
Please let my angst
Go

My head is full of
Everything
Of life and love
And pain
Providing paths
But no clear route
To guide me
Straight again

So peaceful sleep
I need your help
To take me
Far away
Allow respite
From the weight I feel
Of my life
Everyday
