A voice in my head, a voice from my past

Talking in tongues I recognize

A sound in my room, is it rain on my window

I lie awake eyes open wide



Sometimes I read, or watch my T.V.

Tryin' in vain to close my mind

I'm tossin'and turnin'

I'm cold then I'm burnin'

Sometimes I think this bed's too wide



Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep



I think of my father remember my mother

I wonder if they can see me now

Sleep….

Sleep….



Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep



Solo



Sleep……..Sleep



Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep



Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
