Today I have gone the distance,
my limbs are laden with lead,
my eyes are closing quietly
and I’m finally off to bed.

Today I have gone the distance,
my limbs are laden with lead,
my eyes are closing quietly
and I’m finally off to bed.

Tiredness looms upon me
like the mist coming in
from the sea. It creeps
and settles upon my being
as I battle against it
but it is too strong
and soon I succumb.
