drift off

(Verse 1) I'm so tired, longing for sleep, But it eludes me, my secrets to keep. No interruptions, no lectures to be told, Yearning for rest, in a gentle hold. (Chorus) Oh, let me drift off, In the stillness of the night. Where dreams weave their soft cloth, And I'll find solace in the fading light. (Verse 2) Yet sleep evades, my limbs protest, No more sorrow, no more tears to digest. In this numbness, peace is fleeting, Craving slumber, time's slow beating. (Chorus) Oh, let me drift off, In the stillness of the night. Where dreams weave their soft cloth, And I'll find solace in the fading light. (Chorus) Oh, let me drift off, In the stillness of the night. Where dreams weave their soft cloth, And I'll find solace in the fading light. (Bridge) So weary, why won't it cease? You can't confine me, just release. It should end, it should halt, My hand's agony, a new assault. (Verse 3) Neither asleep nor awake I lay, Stacks of energy cans, my thoughts astray. Cold surrounds, yet I don't feel the chill, Why does solitude evade me still? (Verse 3) Neither asleep nor awake I lay, Stacks of energy cans, my thoughts astray. Cold surrounds, yet I don't feel the chill, Why does solitude evade me still? (Chorus) Oh, let me drift off, In the stillness of the night. Where dreams weave their soft cloth, And I'll find solace in the fading light. (Chorus) Oh, let me drift off, In the stillness of the night. Where dreams weave their soft cloth, And I'll find solace in the fading light. (Outro) In the hush of the night's descent, I'll find solace in the end. Let darkness take its final bend, And in slumber, my wounds will mend.
