Still Small Hours

lyrics

INSOMNIAC
In the still, small hours of the morning
Just a few short years 'til the dawn
Each mistake I've made is endlessly replayed
In my mind for me to dwell upon

In the still, small hours of the morning
Just a decade till break of day
Every dumb concern makes me toss and turn
Even sunrise won't make them go away

Oh will sleep never come
All I want is an evening of peace
I have tried counting sheep it's certainly cheap
But I'm haunted by fleece and I can't seem to cease

Night Terror Patient:
You know I thought I had it bad with my nightmare sleep
Every night another terrible dream
All the horror, all the dread, just restore me to my bed
At least then I could sleep while I scream

Restless Leg Syndrome Sufferer:
Oh how I wish I had it back to the way it was
Yeah, whatever, let my legs go and shake
How I wish, how I yearn, for the twitch, for the burn
At least I wasn't always awake!

All:
In the still small hours of the morning
Just a century or two before noon
Oh, my mind will race at a breakneck pace
And I'll fidget by the light of the moon
