Read all the news I know all of the views Now I got the blues It’s time to lay down The house without sound But my head is loud It’s three in the morning And I can’t sleep 'Cause I'm still in mourning For everything I can’t keep Sing me to sleep Please, pretty angel Can’t count no more sheep Help me, pretty angel There is no escape From all my mistakes I keep playing the tape Why did I say that? Wish I could go back Why’m I afraid to act? It’s four in the morning My eyes, they ain’t closed Now I'm over 40 Guess this is how it goes Sing me to sleep Please, pretty angel Can’t count no more sheep Help me, pretty angel It’s five in the morning I'm at the end of my rope Maybe this is a warning That fear can dash hope Sing me to sleep Please, pretty angel I'm about to weep Help me, pretty angel The Sun’s coming up My eyelids are goin down
