Turning, turning, I'm having trouble sleeping
Stirring, wheezing, I'm having problems breathing

Awake in the middle of the night, a silence so profound
Shadows cast by headlight pouring in from all around

After I'm finished counting sheep I'm praying for rain
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep praying for rain

Stirring, stirring, eyes glued to the TV screen
Cursing, searching, for something I haven't seen

I should be resting, but it doesn't seem that late
Is there something I can take because I'm tired of being awake

After I'm finished counting sheep I'm praying for rain
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep

I want someone to play to me, the sound of going crazy
I want someone to play to me, the sound of going crazy
I want someone to play to me, the sound of going crazy
I want someone to play to me...

Yawning, drifting, almost cursing daylight
Dreaming, dreaming, welcome the incoming tide
I guess it's about that time; 5 o'clock in the morning
Thank God for the waters, the waters of the rain

After I'm finished counting sheep I'm praying for rain
Maybe I'll finally get some sleep praying for rain
