I could not stay sleeping, oh, my mind would not allow
And suddenly all these thoughts on life crept into me somehow
The sun has barely risen to lay aside another night
And it's here I settle softly into every word I write
Maybe I'm just counting up my sheep too late
But I just let them run beyond the fence
What good are guards that wouldn't give such pleasure?
I think I'll have a morning, one that starts out with a laugh
In the hopes that it would spread out equal on behalf
Of an unforgiving measure, oh where find time just ticks away
To let the simple things bring you closer in a simple way
