Counting Sheep

you don’t let me leave
so, I wait until you count your sheep
I want you to stay
awake but you are fast asleep 

well I’m counting the days until you call back
you’re waiting for me to cut you some slack
going skating on jet black tarmac
will you ride with me?

Oh, when I go outside
I know where I’ll hide
So, find me in the trees
sippin’ on moonbeams
don’t forget the keys
in case I miscount your sheep

going crazy with pockets empty but we’d rather be no where else
