lyrics

I wanna close my eyes
I want to close my eyes
I just wanna go to sleep
Meet the darkness in the deep
Won’t you let me close my eyes

I'm not waiting for dawn
I don't want to wait for dawn
If I wait here too long
Don’t think dawn will ever come
I’m not gonna wait for dawn

So let me lay down my head
Won't you let me lay down my head
I’d take a pile of dirt
Even underneath the earth
If you let me lay down my head

I feel a dream coming on
I can feel a dream coming on
I can see it all right now
I will make it there somehow
Won't you come on dreams
Come on

I wanna close my eyes
I want to close my eyes
I just wanna go to sleep
Meet the darkness in the deep
Won’t you let me close my eyes
Won’t you let me close my eyes
