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 kitchen 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 carsoutside on the street and
The stars are laughing
They get a kick out of my misery

I've tried everything short
of Aristotleto 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
