A few lines from "The Midnight Hours":

"The midnight hours are the worst

People should warn you more about that

The hours between dusk and dawn seem like an eternity

They creep on painfully slow...minutes stretch into hours...

All you do is lie in the dark and think

You're exhausted;  you'd give anything to sleep

But you can't

You're torn between the sad thoughts

That continue to break your heart

And the happy memories of your loved one lost

You think of what you could have done more of...

And the things you didn't do enough of...

And the future chances now gone...

You toss and turn and sleep finally claims you...

A few minutes at a time...but it is never for long...

Because the sorrow momentarily forgotten..."
