As I Lie Awake

I dream torpidly as I lie awake,
Allowing the witching hour to come and go,
The cuckoo clock screams out a spell, daybreak
Creeping closer, as the cat stalks the crow.       
      
Allowing the witching hour to come and go
I watch the shadows dance and break,
Creeping closer, as the cat stalks the crow,
And creaking bark becomes music without mistake.     
      
I watch the shadows dance and break
Telling me a story, putting on a show,
And creaking bark becomes music without mistake,
So I leave my repose to draft, all aglow.             

Telling me a story, putting on a show,
The shadows taught me the words in heartache,
So I leave my repose to draft, all aglow.
Dumb as a snake, I slither away for my sake.
      
The shadows taught me the words in heartache,
The cuckoo clock screams out a spell, daybreak
Dumb as a snake, I slither away for my sake,
I dream torpidly as I lie awake.
