dave sherratt - Yawning

Seven nights on and I still can’t sleep
My eyes won’t even stay shut
Stay awake for hours, i have
Become more ratty
Sandman giving me no respect
Seven nights and counting
That I haven’t slept

Thoughts of jobs, relationships and cash
Life changing plans
Are my targets all for real?
Are they on course?
Or turning into yesterdays news
No regrets in what I have done
Suppose its lack of zzz’s, blowing my fuse

I suppose I want to be partnered
Or maybe just get laid
Sexually frustrated?
Or spend money that I made
Tomorrow I’ll consult my brain and mind so deep
Rearrange a few of those things
Then I might, maybe, get some sleep
