Lyrics

Another night of counting sheep
I’ve tried all of the techniques
Counting backwards from one thousand
Counting breaths both in and out
Nothing seems to work
So I just lie and stare at the paintwork

Coldness creeps into the room
Takes on the mantle of a tomb
Is this what death is meant to be
Counting sheep for eternity

Another restless night for me
Sifting through the day’s debris
Replaying moments in my mind
Explanations hard to find
And still sleep refuses come
I try to drown out the street light’s hum outside

Another night of counting sheep

Another night of counting sheep

That's a lovely melody and pretty tune, hiding a philosophical humdinger in its midst. "Is this what death is meant to be /Counting sheep for eternity?" is the one question that plagues me as an ageing atheist, as I know the answer. j$
