At Night

I do not want my dreams Because they are not where I come from I do not want to go to my nightmares Because I dread them My eyes want to shut down But I quickly open them And as I lie on my bed In the darkness of the night The sound of the crickets I hear Are like an introduction to my nightmares I can't shut my ears And they can't shut their mouths I do not fear the night I do not hate sleep I do not dislike the crickets' sounds But I dread my nightmares And I don't want my dreams
