Sun sinkin' low, another day is done Body's weary, soul feels worn and undone But sleep ain't just rest, no sir, not for me It's a midnight train, a ticket to be free The world keeps spinnin', a cruel and hurried pace Troubles pile up, leavin' not a trace Of quiet moments, peace within my soul But in slumber's arms, I find myself whole The city's hummin', a low and mournful sound Worries like shadows, gatherin' all around But when I close my eyes, and drift into the night I leave it all behind, bathed in gentle light Yeah, sleep's a refuge, a sanctuary deep Where weary hearts can rest, and secrets softly keep A velvet curtain, drawn against the day Where dreams take flight, and troubles fade away So let the darkness fall, let the stillness creep Into my weary bones, while the world's asleep For in the quiet hush, a strength I will regain And face the mornin' light, with courage born again.
