Sleep eludes me now

it wants no part of me

If I can close my eyes

Oh sleep why can’t you see?

 

Hours pass each night

while sleep fades away,

Never mind the time

I walk now in a daze.

 

Sleep eludes me now

Now it laughs at me,

Darkness all around

Oh sleep come give me peace.

 

Chilly night outside

A perfect one for sleep,

Don’t elude me now

Let me dream so deep.
