I can't seem to wait for the end of the day
the only time thoughts can't betray
oh my, oh
I just don't know
I can't find where the mind should go

Longing for the time to sleep
Killing all my worries
Spend my hours counting sheep
but the sandman doesn't hurry

The burdens are here to stay
no matter what you say
no matter what I do, they are all my day
but oh my, oh
All this makes me really low

Longing for the time to sleep
Killing all my worries
Spend my hours counting sheep
but the sandman doesn't hurry

So lead me straight into the night, far away from day
Let me sleep away my life, where mindaches doesn't stay
oh my, oh
What a way to go
There might be help, but I don't know

Longing for the time to sleep
I ain't got none to say
Spend my hours counting sheep
Don't wanna be awake today
No, I just wan't to go
oh my, oh
Why doesn't the sandman show?
