Eyes that refuse to close
Till they're red from tears
Sleep escapes, elusive most
Laughing, mocking fears
Sleepless in July, cry the night away
Every thought is broken
Torn apart before their release
Strung high up in the open
Left to crumble in the breeze
Sleepless in July, watch the night away
Evening came and left me here
The irony is that I found it
Still, with each hour near
Lost is sleep to life's bandit
Sleepless in July, till the break of day
