Sleep Please Come to Me

Recorded by: Matthew Barber

Lyrics

Oh Sleep please come to me
It’s a quarter after three
I’ve been here since one I’m not having any fun
Won’t you ease this misery

There are things I’ve gotta do
Tomorrow before noon
If you don’t make haste the morning I will waste
Trying to get caught up to you

Oh sleep don’t close the door
It’s twenty after four
It’s time these sheep were shorn their wool is getting worn
And I can’t count them anymore

Tell me when will you arrive
‘cause it’s getting closer to five
well I thought I might have sensed you ‘round midnight
but I guess my senses lied (don’t lie to me)

So still I lie hear tucked in tight
In the cool pale blue moonlight
With my lover’s breath and the thoughts that fill my head
Instead of sweet sweet dreams tonight
