The oppressing silence weighing down
As I lay in my bed on a summer night,
On a summer night,
Makes sleep an impossible dream.
I vaguely hear the cars pa**ing by through the dull damp air
And I wonder where, oh where do they go?
But I do not know so there I lay,
Suspended in my limbo.
I wait for dawn to bring my release,
But the morning seems a thousand years away,
A thousand years away,
So I must occupy my mind.
I vaguely hear the church clock chiming its regular chime
Telling me the time, time I should have slept.
I would hear except that a merciful unconsciousness
Relieves my limbo.
