The Looming Past

So the night is down
It's time to close our eyes
But when sleep doesn't come
I don't know what to do
Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah
I don't wanna lie here long
I hear the sounds of others loving
And that's all I hear
And that's what I fear

As the hours tick by
I'm way past waiting
And it reminds me now
Of what I used to know
Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah
I don't wanna lie here long
I hear the sounds of others loving
And that's all I hear
And that's what I fear
And if love is right why does it sound bad?
It reminds me of the things I had
Some time ago when love was known

I still keep in touch
With letters from the loved ones
They do too much for me
These memories are dangerous
Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah
I don't wanna lie here long
I hear the sounds of others loving
And that's all I hear
And that's what I fear
Tonight when you hold me
I know it's forever
And you wouldn't even take the blame
For driving everyone away
And it's all that I hear
And it's too much I fear
And it's all that I hear
And it's too much I fear
