Sleep

D
Sleep. Come on in.
G                                 
I would like for you to spend the 
D
night with me.
D
Sleep. Where you been.
G                            
I have surely missed you since 
  D
you?ve been gone.
A                                 
I have walked the dirt and seen 
  G
the clouds in the sky and
          D
seen them different in the daytime.
A                                 
It hurts my eyes to close them 
        G                          
cause they only close to blink away
  D
 the tears that I cry.

D
Sleep. Be my friend.

G                                 
I could use a close one to remind 
          D
me how to live again.
D
Sleep. Make it end.
G                             D
Let me rest and lie beside my tired 
old bones and hold me.
A                       G        
Sing to me a lullaby on hopes of 
                             D
shutting down these eyes and close 
out the world.
A                         G      
Force me to dream so I?ll know 
                             D
I?ve slept and shelter me from 
daylights creeping fingers.

D
Sleep. Please appear.
G                                
Show to me your face and tell me 
D
it?s ok to rest.
D
Sleep. Help me try,
G                              D
To put my body down on pillows made 
out of my Mama?s womb.
A                        G       
Satisfy my eagerness for comfort 
                      D
in this time of worry let me let it 
go.
A                                 
When I?m sure the lights are out 
   G
and sandman throws himself about
     D
I'll trust you again.

D
Sleep. Say my prayers.
G                                  
Asking for a place that looks like 
D
all the nighttime fantasies.
D
Sleep. Are you here?
G                               D
Are you real and am I snuggling down
 tonight?
