lyrics

Old man, do you see me knocking at your door?
Midnight and the boys have all closed up the stores?
Waiting for your soothing hand to let me in,
Close my eyes, undress my thoughts, and make my messy mind turn off.

Bring me a peaceful sleep. March into a quiet dream,
and don't let me wake up before the sun rises.

Hold me tight and close the lid.
It's time to soften up the grip on conscious strings and ties.

I'm no longer outside.
