[V.1]
A Amaj7
It’s evening’s sleep, I should find rest
F#m C#m Bm
but each fleeting dream’s another test
C#m Bm F#m
that fails to set my mind at ease
Dmaj7 C#m Amaj7 F#m
in this land of my own make believe
[V.2]
A Amaj7
No tender singing fills my head
F#m C#m Bm
Laying soft and warm tucked in my bed
C#m Bm F#m
No cradle rocked by lulling breeze
Dmaj7 C#m Amaj7 F#m F
Prayers of anguish bring me to my knees
[Chorus]
C Em
Now I lay me down to sleep
Am F Cm7
But doubts linger in places deep

Until the edge of night is nigh
F Em G Am
and sunlight’s kiss warms up . . . the . . . sky
[V.3]
A Amaj7
I’m home alone, but cannot stay
F#m C#m Bm
There’s a heavy door that blocks my way

The latch just won’t budge, rust can’t forgive

I spin around, the room’s transformed
F#m C#m Bm
A crowd’s gathered now, I join the swarm

Fleet faces, specters from my past

A maacabre dance beyond my grasp
[Repeat Chorus]

They will not stop, they won’t relent

Jumbled cluttered thoughts, must I repent?
C#m Bm F#m
To gain the peaceful night’s repose
Dmaj7 C#m Amaj7 F#m
I was seeking when the moon arose
[V.6]
A Amaj7
I’m wide awake, what should I do?
F#m C#m Bm
Did I fumble, bungle, am I through?
C#m Bm F#m
What’s left unfinished, what went wrong?

Just pretending I can all along.
[Instrumental Chorus]

If I should die before I wake
F#m C#m G#m
Surely does not tranquil slumber make

I pray the Lord I won’t recall
Dmaj7 C#m Amaj7 F#m
If I wake up now, or wake at all
[V.8]
A Amaj7
The burnished moon has found its crest
F#m C#m Bm7
But my troubled mind has not found rest
C#m7 Bm7 F#m
Through shuttered lids I glimpse a peek
Dmaj7 C#m7 Amaj7 Gb F
Mother sun’s first rays caress my cheek
[Outro]

As I find my way to sleep

F Em G A
and there are no more lul . . . la . . . bies
