Counting Sheep

Counting Sheep - Acrylics

I've been tossin' and turnin'

Spent nights countin' sheep my girl

It's already mornin'

I still can't sleep

And it's hot in my room

And I stuck to the sheets my girl

I'm soaked from my head

Down to my feet

But you're here lyin' next to me

And the melody surrounds you

Encasing you in sound

You're here lyin' fast asleep

While the sky that hangs above you

Has been shaken to the ground

I was restless like crazy

And I made my mistakes my girl

I took every chance that I could take

I was runnin' around town

When I smashed on the ground so hard

I got trouble believin'

I'm still around

As you would glide across the floor

Can't deny it was graceful

And darling you implode

If you had made it out the door

You consider yourself grateful

But you don't even want to know

And the sound'll save you

Ohhhhh ohhhh

Ohhhhh ohhhh

Go to sleep my dear baby

You're here lyin' down in bed

While the dog that loves you dearly

Has been taken to the pound

You sleep face down like your dead

These lovin' arms will hold you

Will only hold you down
