Sleep just won’t come to you
Curled up in the black night
Sweet dreams cannot find you
in the darkness of your room
Thoughts and desires
Fuel the fire deep inside of you
As the rain rolls down your window pain
Relief will not embrace you
As you struggle with the heat
sweet dreams escape you
like flood waters in the creek
You toss and you turn
some aching space inside of you
burns as the wind blows on your window pain
And when the rain comes
It will come with a vengeance
The flood gates will open up
and devour all of you
When the rains come
they will come in so hard
that you better find yourself
some higher ground
Sunlight filters in
through flimsy bedroom curtains
tear drops that softly lie
upon your pretty face
You shake the sleep
that surely must have taken you
and the sun shines on your window pain
And when the rain comes
It will come with a vengeance
The flood gates will open up
and devour all of you
When the rains come
they will come in so hard
that you better find yourself
some higher ground
