Sleep Tonight

Remove this light Let the sun set on this day I need the night Lay myself in a field You can’t find me The sky is my shield Leave me here tonight You pulled me down Laid me out Just leave me here tonight Scream at the stars Too far to hear me shout At least they try Because you do not Left here in fear One frown, one tear Hits the ground And I sit up watching the clouds roll in Feel the rain hit my forehead Only to run down my cheek And taste the salty mixture Now the stars cannot hear me Lost in what I cannot see Lye me down I will sleep tonight
