Insomnia -

Sleep so maybe you won’t hear

The call of carnival close your window

Turn off the light

Sleep like a young boy out of fear

Running like the leaves

Down the sidewalk autumn night

Sleep so maybe you won’t feel

The air is blowing cold

The dead don’t fear

To take a chill

Sleep the autumn is still young

As you are growing old

With the turn of the furious wheel

The autumn’s coming

Bringing sorrow and grey

The autumn’s coming

always here to stay

The wails of a lifetime

Are all gathered in it The shadows are rustling

Can you feel yourself caught in this trap

Sleep slumbers crawl

Fast slow like the river flow

Wait till the dreams will come

Weap you up and arm like the autumn shade

The dark isn’t far stay here as you are

Try not to think

You had to run with a night like this

So the sadness could not hurt

Dream on
