29 : 5/9/98 : The Sad True Story of the Girl Who Could Not Sleep

I suppose she's still out there
somewhere
Counting the hours she cannot
keep
No one seems to know
About her
The sad true story of the Girl
who could not sleep
Who will testify
who will justify
who could satisfy the need
that keeps her
up?

I suppose it all started
innocently
It's so hard not to steal a few extra
hours
From the nights that pass softly
gently
One day I suppose it simply crept up
The dawn's early light

Who could see it come
Who could keep the sun
Who knew that some thing would
happen leaving her
up?

I suppose that she's awake
right now
Living the sad true story of the
Girl who could not sleep
It's crazy what this world
will allow
To exist; It's crazy when you finally see how steep

a price you'll pay
To wish away
The hours that prey
on all
The fragments
The memories
The incredible true
sad story of the girl
who could not sleep
