Drift Away

It's been a long day 
The trains were all late 
Time just ran away 
Along with my faith 
Like there was someplace 
They both needed to be. 
​
It's been a long day 
For a routine escape 
And my saving grace 
As if often the case 
Is pretending
I'm not really me. 
​
And now I'm lying on this hotel bed 
With a pillow under my head 
Trying so hard to drift away 
​
But I'm awake 
Just wondering 
Awake and pondering 
Trying to find an absolution
Trying to fall asleep 
For all too soon the day starts again
