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
Sleep¡­.
Sleep¡­.

Oh, how i wish i could sleep
Oh, how i wish i could sleep

Solo

Sleep¡­¡­..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
