Insomniac - Pilgrim Billy

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

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

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

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
