Sleepless Nights

I sometimes close my eyes for hours

But never fall asleep

I'm so jealous of your peaceful state

And of the dreams you keep

I stare at walls and out through windows

So deep into the night

As shadows shift and shapes emerge

Fall in and out of sight



My body's asleep but my mind's still working

All through the night I'm tossing and turning



I sometimes close my eyes for hours



But never fall asleep

I'm so jealous of your peaceful state

And of the dreams you keep

Oh you don't know this silent torture

Frustration that I feel

A million sleepless nights

I've prayed this nightmare can't be real



My body's asleep but my mind's still working

All through the night I'm tossing and turning
