Mia Doi Todd Sleepless Nights
Sleepless Nights
David, is it true that fear is lavender
How do you walk the waves so free
Fear is an ocean of unknown proportion
It strikes me down some sleepless nights
Some sleepless nights, some sleepless nights, some
sleepless nights
Out on the patio, I told you how long ago
I had abandoned my will
Under the circumstance, I really had no chance
The loss, the let-down, the lameness haunt me still
How far we go along the road away from ourselves
How far we go along the road away from ourselves
We were not getting along, retreat already begun
Though we made it through the night
Time came to climb the wall
I was hoping I would fall back onto your side
When one is hurt, and one is meek, and one is lost
Love is like that lilac wine
It makes you drunk; it makes you cry
tears and laughter, ecstasy
Our bodies move in harmony
We walked into town to find the man we found
His wife served us rice and beans and beer
We got just what we wanted
headed down to the ocean's mouth to make our peace
again
How far we go along the road to find ourselves
How far we go along the road to find ourselves
