Blanket of Sleep

Sleep wraps it's arms around me
It shrouds me
I love sleep
the same way I like him
Soft and cuddly
Only he isn't that
Just like sleep,
he's there for a while
and gone out of nowhere

I begin to smile
but sleep leaves me
I find myself counting sheep
1, 2, 3...
I count to 1,000
but he isn't here

Maybe it will take a year or two
but when I finally fall asleep easily
that's probably when I'll find you
That will be the day when sleep
finds me too
out on the ocean blue
