Sleep how you elude me,
dreams furthest from my mind,
heart that cannot rest unknowing,
looking darkness, hard to find.
dreams furthest from my mind,
heart that cannot rest unknowing,
looking darkness, hard to find.
Dark thoughts that push all sleep away,
from pain that comes from daily strain.
Can I fulfill your every need,
Can I answer every plead.
Turning here,turning there,
wretched, tired with mind alive.
Settle, rest, no time to spare,
in sleeping, with all unclear.
Sleep how you elude me,
dreams furthest from my mind.
I walk the floor, the dark of night,
black the sky, with heart that fights,
quiet should produce a rest,
but sleep, how you elude me best.
Darks my lover, where are you?
Sleeps my Angel, far from me,
heart that cannot rest unknowing,
where’s your wings to cover me.
Oh! beloved sleep, how you elude me best….
