Read all the news
I know all of the views
Now I got the blues

It’s time to lay down
The house without sound
But my head is loud

It’s three in the morning
And I just can’t sleep
Cause I’m still in mourning
For everything I can’t keep

Sing me to sleep
Please pretty angel
Can’t count no more sheep
Help me pretty angel

There is no escape
From all my mistakes
I keep playing the tape

Why did I say that
Wish I could go back
Why am I afraid to act
It’s four in the morning
My eyes they ain’t closed
Now I’m over forty
Guess this is how it goes

Sing me to sleep
Please pretty angel
Can’t count no more sheep
Help me pretty angel

It’s five in the morning
I’m at the end of my rope
Maybe this is a warning
That fear can dash hope

Sing me to sleep
Please pretty angel
Yeah, I’m about to weep
Help me pretty angel

The sun’s coming up
My eyelids are goin' down
