Windy Night

In the darkness of the night When the world’s devoid of light And wind blows with all its might Many things do me afright

For I cannot get to sleep Let alone a sleep that’s deep As the minutes slowly creep I will my disturbed watch keep

For the noise that it does make Only serves to keep me awake And I wish, for goodness sake, That it would give it a break!

For at night I’m more aware Of the things that often scare Some of which aren’t really there But my fears are all laid bare

So I find that the best way To make it to dawn of day As there in my bed I lay Is that to the Lord I pray
