Insomniac Lyrics

Billy Pilgrim Insomniac

I can see you and I don't even know you
falling into the sheets at night
Place my hand flat on my chest
Feel the heartbeat back the night
I've tried counting sheep and I've talked with the shepherd
Played with my pillow forever and ever
I sit alone and I watch the clock
I breathe in on the tick and out on the tock
I can hear your bare feet on the kietchen floor
and I don't have to have these dreams no more
I've found someone who can pull me tight
and 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've tried everything short of Aristotle
to Dramamine and the whiskey in the bottle
I pray for the day when my ship comes in
when I can sleep the sleep of the just again
Chorus
Hold the insomniac all night
Hold me
I can keep on dreaming
Hold me
Chorus
I can't sleep
