A voice in my head, a voice from my past
Talking in tongues I recognize
A sound in my room, is it rain on my window
I lie awake eyes open wide

Sometimes I read, or watch my T.V.
Tryin' in vain to close my mind
I'm tossin'and turnin'
I'm cold then I'm burnin'
Sometimes I think this bed's too wide

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

I think of my father remember my mother
I wonder if they can see me now
Sleepâ??.
Sleepâ??.

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Solo

Sleepâ??â??..Sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep

Oh, how I wish I could sleep
Oh, how I wish I could sleep
