Last night I couldn't sleep

Last night I couldn't sleep

As I waited for the light

I knew I’d find comfort

Though I didn’t know why

I tried to be tired

I tried to dream to sleep

But nothing worked

I was woke on my feet

I had not the energy

To do anything

My mind was so restless

I let it move me

I don’t know what happens

When the light shines though

When the world is awake

I can sleep true

Someone told me

All you need is a man

But I don’t know if that’s the answer

For love is never planned

Get it down on paper

Release it from your mind

I don’t know why I can’t sleep

As my fingers read my mind

The dawn will soon be here

Its damn near five

I guess I’ll just give up

And sleep in the light
