The Final Phrase Lyrics

I stayed awake too late

I couldn't find my peace of mind

I waited for the door to open

It didn't move anymore

I kept on counting sheep

Trying to tire and fall asleep

But each tick of the clock kept echoing on

Daylight showed up and sunlight rode up

You'd gone and left here alone

In the light I was blind

And I tried to open my eyes

I felt weak--I couldn't eat

To mellow out I had a stiff drink

I kept on counting sheep

Trying to tire and fall asleep

But each tick of the clock kept echoing on

Daylight showed up and sunlight rode

You'd gone and left here alone

As keep on waiting for you

There's nothing more I can do

But lay awake and slowly waste away

I hear rain and thunder

As I wonder through days

A cloud lowers and stays

Through the final phrase

Through these final days
