Acoustic and Electric Pop Rock - Contemporary Folk Sensibility

I am a one woman band. On my first 2 albums, I played guitars, keyboards, bass, and sang. I even did the drum programming on my first album - But having a real live drummer on the second CD couldn't be "beat" ;-) (Thanks Kevin) You can buy my second album "Now" at: http://cdbaby.com/corinne And my first album "A Whisper in My Ear" at: http://cdbaby.com/corinne2

Lyrics

To Sleep
Copyright Corinne Curcio February 24, 2009

To Sleep
Perchance to Dream
That doesn’t seem like
Too much to ask 

So deep
And so extreme
One won’t waken
But I’m taken to task 

Summoned in the middle of the night
By tormentors in my head
I should ignore them but instead

I rise
Like a ghost on the prowl
I rise
Like a hunting owl
I rise 
And run afoul of the law of 
Sleep

To Sleep
How late the hour
What is this power
That shakes me from rest?

I keep
Answering the call
I’m bound to fall
And fail the test

I long to drink from the river Lethe
Forgetting all that’s been said
I should ignore it but instead

I rise
Like a thirsty vampire
I rise
Like the flames of a fire
I rise
Even though I tire from lack of
Sleep
