Sleep come quickly

"Sleep come quickly and take me away,
im getting tired of this new day,
sleep come quickly and take me away,
im getting tired of living this way.

And as i slip into your sinking darkness,
i will remember your words.
Dont reach out i cant see past this,
as i fall into this disarray.

Sleep come quickly im getting numb,
cant feel the bed beneath me,
sleep come quickly and sap away,
the remaining strength to go on.

And as im slipping away,
in a crimson pool i regret,
living my life only for today,
ive seen life in a new way.

Sleep come quickly im in the fray,
the sun rises for only today
Sleep come quickly and take me away
slipping into your eternal dream

Dont fall away from me yet,
i need your arm and hand outstretched,
i can still realize my mistake,
too late, too late

and as the last spears of light,
penetrate the last of my thoughts,
i can only picture your face,
and wish i was in my place
(beside you wispering sweet nothings in your ear)

Sleep come quickly and take me away,
im getting tired of this new day,
sleep come quickly and take me away,
as i lie in the crimson pool of decay, of my mistake.

Sleep come quickly and take me away,
sleep come quickly and take me away,
sleep come quickly and take me away,
sleep come quickly, ive only got today."    -Charles P. Corbett 6/2007
