Lyrics for The Looming Past

So the night is down It's time to close our eyes But when sleep doesn't come I don't know what to do Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah I don't wanna lie here long I hear the sounds of others loving And that's all I hear And that's what I fear As the hours tick by I'm way past waiting And it reminds me now Of what I used to know Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah I don't wanna lie here long I hear the sounds of others loving And that's all I hear And that's what I fear And if love is right why does it sound bad? It reminds me of the things I had Some time ago when love was known I still keep in touch With letters from the loved ones They do too much for me These memories are dangerous Oh lord grant me sleep tonight, yeah I don't wanna lie here long I hear the sounds of others loving And that's all I hear And that's what I fear Tonight when you hold me I know it's forever And you wouldn't even take the blame For driving everyone away And it's all that I hear And it's too much I fear And it's all that I hear And it's too much I fear
