TIRED

Lay out my pillow so I can weep,
Then turn the lights down low…
I need to go to sleep.

I can feel my teardrops seep
And my heart grow slowly numb…
Lay out my pillow so I can weep.

A flood of pain is flowing deep,
Drowning out the heart…
I need to go to sleep.

Sadness even when fast asleep,
Is there no place for me to go…
Lay out my pillow so I can weep.

I see the sun begin to seep
And know it’s time to lay my head…
I need to go to sleep.

Into sadness, again, I leap,
My heart is beaten down.
Lay out my pillow so I can weep…
I need to go to sleep.
