One, two, three, four
I'll just count numbers
Before long I'll slumber
Five, six, seven, eight
Crickets chirping from a distance
Causing a slight disturbance
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve
Did she really mean it?
Her comment really got me
Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen...
Was that the kitchen door?
No, just my imagination
I wish my mind would empty
This night seems pretty lengthy
I should've said less
The conversation would have been seamless
Did he just snore?
he argues he doesn't
"Do I record? to settle this matter once for all"
Twenty-two, twenty-three...
Hope tomorrow brings more sun
this count goes deep
My sight goes dim
My breath slows down
I'm fast asleep.
