It comes as a surprise to me cos my mind and soul has been experiencing a lot of turbulence. As I set my bed up for the night, I am filled with trepidation. Fear of the angles which my thoughts would take when it's all dark, quiet and still. Fear of the maggots that might spring out and take me by surprise yet again.
Yet, while I fill my head with positive things to think about as in making of a lists, the next thing I know, I hear the sounds of Jame's Sit Down going off and viola! Morning has broken.
In a way, I am glad cos that means that I have held my demons at bay. But there is also a certain kind of loss when I wake up in the morning and find that once again, sleep has come and gone without leaving me any sweet dreams to last thru the day.
I know I sound more melodramatic than it actually is. But you know when the vase is broken already, no matter how you piece it back, have it reglazed and all... it ain't the same anymore.
So yes... sleep has been coming easy for me.. I have not been doing any weeping. And I think they would be glad to know of it.
Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
Your face is all wet and your day was rough
So do what you must do to find yourself
Wear another shoe, paint my shelves
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I think I found a place where I...
Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
Your face it's all wet 'cause our days were rough
So do what you must do to fill that hole
Wear another shoe to comfort the soul
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I think I found a place where I feel I will...
Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
My face it's all wet 'cause my day was rough
So do what you must do to find yourself
Wear another shoe, paint my shelves
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I hope I find a place where I feel I belong
Your face is all wet and your day was rough
So do what you must do to find yourself
Wear another shoe, paint my shelves
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I think I found a place where I...
Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
Your face it's all wet 'cause our days were rough
So do what you must do to fill that hole
Wear another shoe to comfort the soul
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I think I found a place where I feel I will...
Sleep, don't weep, my sweet love
My face it's all wet 'cause my day was rough
So do what you must do to find yourself
Wear another shoe, paint my shelves
Those times that I was broke, and you stood strong
I hope I find a place where I feel I belong
