CRYING IN MY SLEEP

Crying In My Sleep

The days are uneventful
As I meander through this life
Just one of God's own special children
Ain't nobody's wife.

The sun shines and I smile
It cuts through me skin-deep
But soon as that old moon comes out
I'm crying in my sleep.

The snow falls all around me
And I shiver in my skin
Warm soft sheets envelope my nude body
With just thoughts of him.

I count sheep as I lay there
Like I am Little Bo Peep
Praying for rest that I can't seem to find
While crying in my sleep.

The mornings come all too soon
I've barely closed my eyes
It's the nights I'm starting to dread these days
The sound of our good-bye.

I drift off to dreams so vivid
I pray God my soul to keep
But he just never seems to listen much
As I'm crying in my sleep.

The days and nights turn into years
And soon it is all gone
Life gives in to our certain death
Thank God, it's finally dawn!
