Night Patrol

The nights are dark, but sleep is infrequent Kids long asleep, always a pleasant achievement And although we went to bed, together I find myself in that descent they will always prevent The rest my body craves, the feeling that I'm safe But still I cannot sleep sometimes and it makes me feel insane And so quietly I roam, so not to wake my loves I have safety and home, but my broken brain is stuck just where is was When I go on night patrol I see you sleeping there Cuddled up in your underwear Nothing can compare I do declare! Hang up my boots, throw my clothes up on the chair My night patrol is over, any time that you are near But I've developed a fear, of simply letting sleep take me thru the night When everyone else rests their bodies and minds, mine starts to begin the fight It's not right. So quietly I roam, so as to somehow placate my faulting mind But in the end, I have to get the timing and situation right just to unwind When I go on night patrol I see you sleeping there Cuddled up in your underwear Nothing can compare I do declare! Hang up my boots, throw my clothes up on the chair My night patrol is finally over, any time that you are near
