When I find myself too tired and groggy
I just try to count some sheep.
Mumbling words of knowledge, let me sleep.
Through many hours of darkness
I've laid silently and made no peep
Mumbling words of knowledge, let me sleep.

Let me sleep, let me sleep,
Let me sleep, let me sleep.
Mumbling words of knowledge, let me sleep.

And when the cozy shroud of nightfall
Comes, and over me does sweep
I won't have an answer. Let me sleep.
I only ask for slumber, and I
Do not ask that it be deep
I just need an answer! Let me sleep.

Let me sleep, let me sleep.
Let me sleep, let me sleep.
I just want an answer. Let me sleep.

Let me sleep, let me sleep.
Let me sleep, let me sleep.
Mumbling words of knowledge, let me sleep.

And if the night is cloudy
Or I find the world all in a heap,
My hope never changes, let me sleep.
If I wake to the sound of music
Or if any babies weep
Mumbling words of knowledge, let me sleep.

Let me sleep, let me sleep.
Let me sleep, let me sleep.
I just need an answer. Let me sleep.

Let me sleep, let me sleep.
Let me sleep, let me sleep.
Speaking words of knowledge, let me sleep
