| The only song I wrote in Boulder, and that was only after I had decided to move back to Fairfield. Must have been sometime between January and June 2002. | |||||||||||
| The sun has long gone down and I can�t sleep With all the thoughts that in my mind do creep I think about my future and my day How I didn�t have the energy to play And I want to sing a good night song for you But I don�t think I have anything that would do So I close my eyes Lie down and Ask the dream man for sand Pray that each silver grain Fills a space in my brain Till I drift away From another day To sleep The moon is up and her bright distant glow Creeps across my bed from my window If she wonders what I�m doing still awake Tell her letting go is more than I can take Don�t want to face the thoughts I know will come To a rushing roar up from a gentle hum But I close my eyes To unwind All the knots in my mind Take a breath to relax All the kinks in my back Till I can drift away From another long day To sleep I don�t know how to stop this silly fight I�m having with myself most every night I know I need my rest to get me through All the things I�m gonna have to do I�m not ready to give up or to give in So it seems to be a battle I can�t win But I open my eyes and to my great suprize At some point late last night After turning out the light I must have drifted away From another lonely day To sleep The sun has long been up and I�m awake But I�m taking naps on every work break It�s the only way I think I can go on And even then I can�t stop every yawn And I�m waiting till I can come back to you �Cause you put my soul at ease with all you do When I close my eyes Take your hand I don�t need no dream sand With you I�m safe and sound My thoughts don�t buzz around I just drift away From another lovely day To sleep(x2) |
