Liner Notes

Voice is still shot but I just couldn't resist another go...I'll post this and then go to bed and check back in the morning

Lyrics

Counting sheep till the field is full Imagine clouds made of cotton wool Pick a large number and count down in fours Stare at a mark on the bedroom door Whatever you can do

Tell yourself you must not sleep Concentrate make your breathing deep Random association of words Words you can think of but cannot be heard Whatever you can do

Pad and paper, close by the bed Empty your thoughts from your busy head Tomorrow will come, just as sure as today Whatever you do, insomnia gets in the way Whatever you can do Whatever you can do

Very beautiful song. Amazing you created 2 songs so quickly and so well, with lyrics, music, singing and playing. Amazing speed and quality.

Oh, I loved listening to this! You captured insomnia perfectly by describing the things people do to try and prevent or interrupt it. Great title and refrain. Those of us who suffer from it do "Whatever you can do."
