i can see you don t even know you falling into the sheets at night i place my hands flat on my chest i feel the heart beat back the night i try counting sheep and i talk to the shepherd and i play with my pillow for ever and ever i sit alone and i watch the clock i breathe in on the tick and out on the tock refrain i can hear your bare feet on the kitchen floor i don t have to have these dreams no more cause i ve found someone just to hold me tight hold the insomniac all night dig my head down deep so i can t hear the cars outside on the street and the stars are laughing they get a kick out of my misery i tried everything short of aristotle to dramamine and the whiskey bottle pray for the day when my ship comes in i can sleep the sleep of the just again refrain instrumental refrain
