I Can't Sleep
Then she knew where my head is at
And how did she respond to that?
Took me in her arms that night
And told me everything's alright
Doesn't change a thing, she said
Got undressed, climbed into bed
Will you close the curtain now?
Will you turn the light right down?
Baby
I can't sleep
Please hold me
How do they get to a place like this?
Where guilt pervades a soul, it sits
Like a vulture in a thorn tree
Growing back into the ground
As we stand, lost, appalled
Memories pervade, they call
Like frightened birds of paradise
Broken by the thorns
Broken by the fall
Then I knew where her head is at
And how could I respond to that?
Took her in my arms that night
And told her everything's alright
Got dressed and made the bed
It doesn't change a thing, I said
Flicked the light, cleared the stage
Opened the curtain, turned the page
Baby
Hmm hmm hmm
