You Keep Me Awake At Night

Nightime comes, it's cocktail hour
Outside another evening shower
And I'm inside with thoughts I can't control
It's nearly seven thousand miles
That separate me from your smiles
And more and more the distance takes its toll

With these very different hours we're keeping
Is it any wonder I have trouble sleeping?

You keep me awake at night
Like strong black coffee or white cocaine
The sudden rush of a speeding train
The sweet insistence of some cheap refrain
That keeps me awake at night

You sharpen my appetite
You're fresh ground ginger or lemon zest
Your oysters make it a lobster dressed
Your Harrods' food hall crossed with Carmarans' best
You sharpen my appetite

Oh, when you suffer from insomnia
Oh, what's a person to do
Oh, when this feeling comes upon ya
There is nothing to be done
And I should know because I find that

You thrill me from top to toe
You make me breathless, you make me blush
You make me giggle, you make me gush
And thoughts of you will turn my brain to mush
And keep me awake at night

Four times today I tried to phone ya
You're always out when I'm in
Sure, I'm aware that I don't own ya
Still it would be nice to hear your voice
And then I'd whisper darling

You keep me awake at night
And when the sun bids the moon goodbye
You'll murmur to me in fond reply
That you adore me and you're glad that I
Will keep you awake
I'll keep you awake
I'll keep you awake at night
I'll keep you awake tonight
