sleep blues


 

  If I could sleep
  nights would  be easy
  There'd be no moonlight
  that I'd be scared of
    But I can't sleep
    not like I should
    I cannot dream
    these thoughts are too hard
    And every night
    I hear the house creaking
    No one hears, they're all sleeping.
  If I could sleep,
  I'd snore really loud
  I'd stick one leg out
  and mumble such dumb things
  I'd drool on my pillow
  and wake up with bed head
  and all would be right
   But I can't sleep
   not like I need it
   I just can't dream
   good as I have it
   And when I lie here,
    hear the clock ticking
    see the time passing,
    making me tired.
 Cause if I slept 
  I'd have more good mornings
  my coffee much sweeter
  the sunlight much warmer
    But I can't sleep
    not like I should
    I just can't dream
    oh that I would
    but no, that's for others
