Close my eyes, clear my mind
Try to catch some zzz’s
I go through this every night
And still can’t fall to sleep
I’ve tried a number of various ways
I read or try TV
Nothing seems to help me
Not any remedy
How many days can I stay up
Without a wink of rest
I wonder how many others
Have been put to this test
I have to figure out what to do
This whole thing is very old
I don’t care to even dream
I just need to doze
Going to take a pill tonight
I have no other choice
Going to bed as soon as it’s dark
To slumber, rest, rejoice
