Sleep

There was a little fish
in a big black pond
Always wondering about
the unknown world beyond

Unlike all the others he
refused a life of security
Unlike all the others he
was born to roam free

Sometimes I wish
I could be like him
Not think about a goddamn thing

Sometimes I wish
I could dream like him
Maybe then, maybe then

Oh the fisher girl
she loved to love and dance
Carried her heart on her sleeve
and ate in the palm of her hands

Unlike all the others she
She took the time to see and feel
Unlike all the others she
Let go of these intricacies

Sometimes I wish
I could be like her
Not givin' in
To this outside pressure

Sometimes I wish
I could move like her
Maybe then, maybe then

I'd get some peace of mind
My darling
I'd get some sleep cause I'm tired
Of fighting

Sometimes I wish
I could be like him
Not think about a goddamn thing

Sometimes I wished
I could dream like them
Maybe then, maybe then

I'd get some peace of mind
My darling
I'd get some sleep cause I'm tired
Of fighting
