[ In The Morning Light ]
[ I Get Up ]
[ & Shake Off Another Sleepless Night ]

[ Now, How Many Is That In A Row? ]
[ 3 Or 4? ]
[ I Just Don’t Remember Or Know ]
[ It Seems That When I Look Down @ The Floor ]
[ Everything Is Moving So Slow ]

[ @ Night, It’s The Clock ]
[ It Seems Like Every 45 Minutes ]
[ I’d Feel The Need To Stand-Up & Take A Walk ]

[ Sometimes I’d See How Many Laps I Can Do In Our Small House ]
[ When I Look @ The Bed ]
[ I Envy My Sleeping Spouse ]

[ I Don’t Like To Think Where I’d Be In My Life ]
[ Right Now ]
[ Without My Son & Wife ]

[ I Actually Don’t Remember Or Yearn For A Day When I Was
Single & Alone ]
[ I Lived In Apartments ]
[ Not A Home ]

[ But Like The Saying Goes { HOME IS WHERE YOU HANG YOUR HAT } ]
[ I Can Really ]
[ Relate To That ]

[ I Think This Time I Did 4 Laps ]
[ Before I Stopped ]
[ I Opened The Door To My Room & Looked @ All Of My Hats ]

[ Then I Go & Stand By Our Bed & Climb Up On It ]
[ & Just Sit ]

[ When I Look @ My Pillow I Mumble { WHAT’s THE USE? } ]
[ Trying To Go To Sleep ]
[ Just Feels Like Abuse ]

[ Of My Mind ]
[ So I Will Be Kind ]
[ & Try To Remember & Rewind ]

[ About The Last Morning That I Woke Up Refreshed & Revitalized ]
[ I Couldn’t Remember ]
[ Or Realize ]

[ When ]
[ It Had Last Been ]

[ As I Age ]
[ I Think It Has Been @ Least Two Decades ]
