It is 3
a.m. in the morning and the World is hushed and still
And I cannot get to sleep at all without my sleeping pill! So, I'm looking out the
window at a World all cloaked in black
And know I'll get no rest at all until the Daytime it comes back!
Everyone is sleeping here as I stand here all alone
And gaze into the silent night - this perfect Twilite Zone!
With my baggy eyes and tossled hair well, I know I look a fright
But there's not a soul can see me here whilst I hide inside the Night!
But Night fades out as Day it dawns and I crawl back into bed
But sleep won't come as words won't stop parading through my head!
So once again I sit up straight whilst I try to write them down
But the more I write the more it seems those words go round and round!
But then at last I feel the warmth of another mid-day's sun
And I hurry now to end each line so my writings will be done!
But it's only with that final word and my mind is blank and free
That I know that sleep will softly come and gently comfort me!
