Tiredness Is Immense – Written October 2003 (Aged 28)

Tiredness Is Immense

i have got to this age
and the tiredness is immense
no longer so wide eyed
eager eyed and living in suspense
so take my piggy bank
after all it contains only a few pence
fill up my tank,
let’s got out for a drive
i have got to this age
and i need to feel alive
just as my mind wanders
and we should all thrive
i have got to this age
and i am all out on being wide awake
sleep hasn’t come.
and i have given up asking why it’s late
is this really fate?
just carry on till i am gone
but help me be wide awake
and we will see the door
as we fall asleep in the arms of fate

James Garratt – October 2003
