Insomnia Blues
When sleep don't come, I just get up
And sit out at the table
There's no solution, tea, or salve
For what my mind enables
The past it haunts ya, the future taunts ya
The present's all but certain
There's no one here, but still I fear
To draw back that old curtain
I been awake too long
I wish I could lose
This old world's grip upon me
And these insomnia blues
If I could find sedated mind
In this night's wanin' hours
To reach the still and rollin' meadow
And rest upon its flowers
My thoughts at ease, the gentle breeze
Like whispers in my ear
But I remain behind in a world defined
By my remainin' here
I been awake too long
I wish I could lose
This old world's grip upon me
And these insomnia blues
When sleep refuses my advance
And slips just out of reach
And I lay there and into darkness stare
'Til it's nothin' left to teach
And givin' way to the light of day
Like a love unreconciled
Maybe tonight, I'll catch it
But it's gonna be a while
I been awake too long
I wish I could lose
This old world's grip upon me
And these insomnia blues
I been awake too long
I wish I could lose
This old world's grip upon me
And these insomnia blues
And sit out at the table
There's no solution, tea, or salve
For what my mind enables
The past it haunts ya, the future taunts ya
The present's all but certain
There's no one here, but still I fear
To draw back that old curtain
I been awake too long
I wish I could lose
This old world's grip upon me
And these insomnia blues
If I could find sedated mind
In this night's wanin' hours
To reach the still and rollin' meadow
And rest upon its flowers
My thoughts at ease, the gentle breeze
Like whispers in my ear
But I remain behind in a world defined
By my remainin' here
I been awake too long
I wish I could lose
This old world's grip upon me
And these insomnia blues
When sleep refuses my advance
And slips just out of reach
And I lay there and into darkness stare
'Til it's nothin' left to teach
And givin' way to the light of day
Like a love unreconciled
Maybe tonight, I'll catch it
But it's gonna be a while
I been awake too long
I wish I could lose
This old world's grip upon me
And these insomnia blues
I been awake too long
I wish I could lose
This old world's grip upon me
And these insomnia blues
