The Looming Past

So the night is down

It's time to close our eyes

But when sleep doesn't come

I don't know what to do

Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah

I don't wanna lie here long

I hear the sounds of others loving

And that's all I hear

And that's what I fear

As the hours tick by

I'm way past waiting

And it reminds me now

Of what I used to know

Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah

I don't wanna lie here long

I hear the sounds of others loving

And that's all I hear

And that's what I fear

And if love is right why does it sound bad?

It reminds me of the things I had

Some time ago when love was known

I still keep in touch

With letters from the loved ones

They do too much for me

These memories are dangerous

Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah

I don't wanna lie here long

I hear the sounds of others loving

And that's all I hear

And that's what I fear

Tonight when you hold me

I know it's forever

And you wouldn't even take the blame

For driving everyone away

And it's all that I hear

And it's too much I fear

And it's all that I hear

And it's too much I fear
