The day was long
The night so young
It's prime did come
To my reclining bod
Seeking peace and rest
I closed my eyes to rest

Sleep came quicker
Like the light flickers
In this false assurance
Descended into the unconscious
Where there is peace and rest
And the body feels its best

We could end things here
On even stable footing
Before the dreams arrive
Ones you can't wake from
Where your body betrays
Even in the throes of sleep
There is no peace and rest
