He lies there waiting for the night
Some pray for the sun to stay
But he knows it will set very soon
He then starts to drift off faraway
Memories flash through his mind
Some that were good and some that were bad
Many that brought him happiness
Few that made him so very sad
He wonders where he is going to
Where will he be once the night comes?
He thinks, and thinks, and thinks
Then finally, the pain inside succumbs
He waits for the day to end
As he starts to shed tears
As much as he hates to admit
He knows the night is finally here
