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
