Dreamless Nights

The clock ticks slow like a fading beat

Whispers of the dark drift through the street

The world hums low beneath the moon's white face

Soft shadows dance in an endless embrace

Dreamless nights pull me under their spell

A quiet world where secrets dwell

Floating high where time stands still

The silence wraps like a gentle thrill

A breeze that sighs through the broken glass

The echoes linger and moments pass

Stars hang heavy in the velvet sky

Their light so faint it almost dies

I hear the hum of a distant song

The night it hums where I belong

Soft vibrations in the still air

I reach for nothing but it's always there

Dreamless nights pull me under their spell

A quiet world where secrets dwell

Floating high where time stands still

The silence wraps like a gentle thrill

Fingers trace the outline of the night

The fading glow of the soft streetlight

A muted world in a hushed refrain

The darkness sings but it feels no pain
