I think about it every night and day
Its stuck in the back of my mind
And it wont go away
I dont know why or where its coming from
I try to block it away, call it a day
But it keeps coming back, it sticks like a knife

And when i think about it
All i want to do is cry
And lord i dont know the reason or why
This thought in my head
It never seems to fade

Did i tell you about the raider of my sleep
Did i tell you about the raider of my sleep

Its coming on really bothers me
This thought that it wont go away
Its in my feelings
I need more time to really think it through
What should i really do
I dont have a clue
Between me and you
I'm so confussed

When i think about it all
I want to do is cry
And lord i dont know the reason or why
This thought in my head
It never seems to fade

Did i tell you about the raider of my sleep
Did i tell you about the raider of my sleep

And will i find the answer to this
Will i find a way
Will it be you
To hold me
Hold me through
And in the midnight hour of the night
Will i find some peace
Or will i still be raided
Raided deep
Ohh

And when i think about it
All i want to do is cry
And lord i dont know the reason or why
This thought in my head
It never seems to fade

Did i tell you about the raider of my sleep
Did i tell you about the raider of my
Did i tell you about the raider of my sleep
Did i tell you about the raider of my
Sleep
