Why do you elude me?
I wait for you to come!
My ears are pounding like
The beating of a drum

I want my mind to stop
These thoughts: oh the sum!
I want to be at rest,
Asleep, till morning comes

I'm tired, but I can't sleep
Restless, tossing, turning
I face another day
Headache; eyes are burning

Sitting on the sofa,
An infommercial's on
Cannot pay attention...
Then I begin to yawn

It's back to bed again
To seek what I can't find
If I can't get some sleep
I'm going to lose my mind!
