Counting Sheep
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I never make a sound
Fingers crossed I shut my mouth
Thoughts they're creeping through my teeth
(Creeping through my teeth)
And drip, drop
The night is loud
Silence seems to drown me out
Box my thoughts and give me some relief
I wanna let you down
Make you toss and turn around
Won't you give me what I need
I wanna let you down
And I'm always lost and never found
Won't you give me what I need
Tick, tock
Make me creep
Never ending
Counting sheep, ohh
Never get no sleep
Tick, tock
Make me creep
Never ending
Counting sheep
Never get no sleep
Do you know what the most frightening thing in the world is?
It's fear
Ain't you planning on going to bed
In the near future?
No!
There's nothing to worry about, you're gonna be just fine
What ever you do- don't fall asleep
Don't drop the curtains down
Darkness is the whole sorround
My mind is lurking at my feet (at my feet)
Criss, cross
The night is sour
Pupils fixed on every hour
Sunrise is the only thing that's sweet
I wanna let you down
Make you toss and turn around
Won't you give me what I need
I wanna let you down
And I'm always lost and never found
Won't you give me what I need
Tick, tock
Make me creep
Never ending
Counting sheep
Never get no sleep
Tick, tock
Make me creep
Never ending
Counting sheep
Never get no sleep
Tick, tock
Make me creep
Never ending
Counting sheep
Never get no sleep
Tick, tock
Make me creep
Never ending
Counting sheep, ohh
Never get no sleep
