Memories from the past,

Catch up to me too fast,

They find me in my dreams,

I want to dream of being a queen,

In some far away place,

Forgotten, lost without a trace,

I want to dream of romance and love,

I want to dream of flying doves,

I want to dream of a knight rescuing me,

I want to dream of white horses running free,

I want to dream of love's first kiss,

My lover’s eyes full of happiness,

I don’t want to close my eyes, I hate going to sleep,

There are too many ghostly images I meet,

I’m tired of dreaming of these frightful things,

When I close my eyes, I know what the night brings,

I’m tired of fighting the thoughts in my head,

I’m exhausted I’m going to bed.
