Sleep Rescue Me
Its after midnight, I'm still not in bed
I listen for your footsteps or the phone instead
Did I miss a call perhaps that tiny moment I was gone
But there's no messages recorded and the ringer is on
I can get a large pizza or fried chicken by phone
But I can't get any solace delivered at home
I turn down the music just in case you might call
But instead of the phone I hear the clock on the wall
So I turn out the light and pull the blanket up tight
it envlopes me like the loneliness I'm feeling tonight
And the ache that I feel, seeps through muscle, to bone
Until I question, do I have the strength necessary to carry on
Sleep rescue me, let my dreams have their way
So that tomorrow I'm restored and I don't lose my faith
Sleep rescue me, its the only way I can cope
For a few hours I'll have peace and in the morning I'll have hope
