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.
