Damn Sleep

Put the fire out, would you please?
It won’t go lastin’ in this storm.
I’m leaving, babe, this life of sleep,
‘cuz it’s eating through me like disease,
and I ain’t coming back no more.

Seldom want you holdin’ me
‘cuz I feel like less the man before
and seldom tell you when I weep,
I’ll only when I leave this sleep,
‘cuz you won’t be seein’ me no more.

Throw them boots on, set ‘em free,
it’s been long since they explored.
Like old rain slippin’ off the breeze,
like I ain’t bound to be deceased
soon I make it to the floor.
