7in7 - Day 3 "Can't Sleep Lullaby"

Day 3 was tough. It kicked my butt.

This song is lullaby about not being able to go to sleep. I hope you like it.


Once again the sun escapes beneath the mountain peaks
The owls and the bats begin their day

Once again my body rests between some dirty sheets
My head against a perfect pillow lay

Once again the sun's reflection hangs among the stars
A mirror floating on a pitch black lake

Once again reminding that this present time of dark
Is passing as I think myself awake

The night is here but I'm not sleeping
The light is gone but I'm not dreaming
Like I was all day

I'm slowing down, my mind is racing
Close my eyes and I start praying
That I would drift away

It's getting late, it's almost early the sun will be back soon
For hours now the world ain't said a thing

It's getting late and I am listening to silence in my room
Any minute now the birds will start to sing

The night is here but I'm not sleeping
The light is gone but I'm not dreaming
Like I was all day

I'm slowing down, my mind is racing
Close my eyes and I start praying
That I would drift away
