Arms of Sleep

Lay my feet on the table Read today's newspaper Light still comes through the windows Gives some colour to my question Take my feet off the table Watch today's news It's already getting dark outside So, I must lock my door And I fall into the arms of sleep For I'm afraid of what's to come When the light goes out, when the light goes out In the arms of sleep And the door stays shut Till morning light I turn on my lights Before bedtime And I fall into the arms of sleep For I'm afraid of what's to come When the light goes out, when the light goes out In the arms of sleep If I do not awaken If I don't wake up again If I am on the list I must be ready I must be there I must be ready I must be ready
