Description
10 o’clock and I’m getting in bed
winding down at a long days end
all sorts of thoughts are running through my head
looking for a semblance of sense in all this
I get under the covers and I close my eyes
Trying to hold back the tears, trying not to cry
Because tomorrow is another day
And daylight is coming sooner than I’d like

11 o’clock and I lie awake
falling asleep should have been cake
but here I lie, awake and still
wondering about all of life’s wonders
questioning all of the world’s questions
I roll over, I just want to hide
From everything and everyone but I can’t
Because tomorrow is another day
And daylight is coming sooner than I’d like

12 o’clock and I wait for day
watching the numbers tick away
I’m still here where I started
Counting cracks in the walls
Listening and talking to nothingness
Wanting someone to listen, someone to hear me
My words go unanswered, my pleas ignored
But I will keep talking, keep asking
Because tomorrow is another day
And daylight is coming sooner than I’d like

1 o’clock and my eyelids fail
I dream of nothing, and nothing dreams of me
I am nothing, for nothing is free
Warm and safe in my own little bed
But not for long, My repose is fleeting
Because tomorrow is another day
And daylight is coming sooner than I’d like…

6 o’clock, an ear piercing sound
My alarm goes off
I have to leave the safety of my dreams
The sun is rising, the sky all coffee and cream
Today is a new day
And daylight is coming sooner that I’d like…
