Turning, turning
I'm having trouble sleeping
Stirring, wheezing
I'm having problems breathing

Awake in the middle of the night,
A silence so profound
Shadows cast by headlight
Pouring in from all around

After I'm finished counting sheep
I'm praying for rain
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep
Praying for rain

Stirring, Stirring
Eyes glued to the TV screen
Cursing, Searching
For something I haven't seen

I should be resting
But it doesn't seem that late
Is there something I can take
Because I'm tired of being awake

After I'm finished counting sheep
I'm praying for rain
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep

I want someone to play to me, the sound of going crazy
I want someone to play to me, the sound of going crazy
I want someone to play to me, the sound of going crazy
I want someone to play to me…

Yawning, Drifting
Almost cursing daylight
Dreaming, Dreaming
Welcome the incoming tide

I guess it's about that time
5 o'clock in the morning
Thank god for the waters
The waters of the rain

After I'm finished counting sheep
I'm praying for rain
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep
Praying for rain
