If it Helps You Sleep
I never could sleep well. Even as a kid, I'd just toss and turn. Not sure what it is. So last night I'm struggling to sleep, and wondering if I should click on YouTube for some "tips to help you sleep" type of deal. I thought, well, as long as it helps you sleep. So this song popped into my mind. This isn't a true story for me, though is for a ton of people. It's a genderless song that could apply to men or women. For me, I'd never swallow it up like the guy in this song. I'd call her out quick! The real me is about that reckoning. Songwriter me is more magnanimous.

Wunschliste
The curtain fell many acts ago
Nobody cried for an encore
Midway through the play, we stopped the show
And it ain't comin' back for a tour
It was hard to end; I found you with him
Strange how anywise you put it on me
My restlessness comes from you, I guess
While wanton minds quickly fade off to sleep
(Chorus)
So close your eyes
Hum lullabies
Get snuggled up and breathe in deep
Drift into a dream
Where you still blame me
Just as long as it helps you sleep
She stayed away for years and days
Hoping I wouldn't speak of the truth
My lips wore a seal, verity not revealed
Too blind to see what good it could do
When she heard my hush, she spoke clear up
Every friend turned foe and pitted on me
A new lesson learned and a novel burn
I pace the floor while she's living a dream
(Chorus)
Out with a guy, that new penny shine
They say the view is better than the rear
I've gnawed my tongue 'til the world tastes numb
I got a few things bet he'd love to hear
But I keep it down; it don't slip out
I just walk away, the keeper of peace
Not a noble call; just don't care at all
I'd rather go try to get me some sleep
(Chorus)
