Sleep - #chickasha #ninnekah

There’s a ghost in the whiskey sour tonight Shaped like a woman’s laugh by neon lights In Busan where the Sam Duk pepper steams Meh-Kong Rum burns like half-remembered dreams Daylight cracks the blinds like shattered glass And every morning, grief is first to pass (Chorus) Give me sea with no shore in sight Give me jazz from Bangkok’s balmy nights Just one more Cuban cigar on a sun-soaked pier One more dark woman whispering "please stay here" But most of all, Lord, what I’d destroy Is to sleep just once like I slept when I was a boy (Verse 2) This bed’s too wide, sheets too cold and clean Like the club near Lum-pini where the sax screams And the Sun-Tory sours bit like winter rain Now I just count the ceiling’s water stains The nightmares come like merchant ships at dawn No land in sight… just rollin' on, and on, and on (Chorus) Give me sea with no shore in sight Give me jazz from Bangkok’s steamy nights Just one more Cuban cigar on a sun-soaked pier One more dark woman whispering "please stay here"" But most of all, Lord, what I’d destroy Is to sleep just once like I slept when I was a boy (Bridge) They say one day it won't be the first thing I know When the rooster crows and the sun’s first glow Just a second… like some half-forgotten tune While I read ‘bout adventures beneath the moon But tonight the pain’s a anchor, heavy and deep And all I want… is one long, dreamless sleep (Outro Chorus) So give me sea with no shore in sight Give me jazz from Bangkok’s hot nights One more Cuban cigar on a sun-soaked pier One last dark woman whispering "please stay here" But trade it all, every memory and toy Just to sleep… one night… like I slept when I was a boy... © ChickAIMusic 2025 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED
