Sleep Here

You took me out and you took me in
You took a shine to the face of sin
You made the bed that we both lie in
Oh, but I can't sleep

Between these sheets that smother me
While I am searching endlessly
You're throwing stones at the aching sea
Oh and I can't breathe
No and I can't sleep here
Anymore

And look at all the lights
Going out tonight, one by one
The secrets of the town
She lays her body down

And I, imagining my girl,
Look for all the world
Like a wakeful child
As I lay and watch the shadows play
Waiting for the day

All alone, I say my prayers
And like a ghost upon the stairs
I searched my heart but there's no-one there
Oh and I can't sleep

And look at all the lights
Going out tonight, one by one
The secrets of the town
She lays her body down

And I, imagining my girl,
Look for all the world
Like a wakeful child
As I lay and watch the shadows play
Waiting for the day

I wish you well and I wish you ill
Followed his footsteps down Telegraph Hill
I loved you then and I always will
Oh, but I can't sleep
No, I can't sleep here
No, I can't sleep here
Anymore
