Lyrics
SLEEP WON'T COME
Words and Music by - Avi Hoffman
I can hear the voices comin' through the wall -
Cheap hotel room
I can feel I'm gettin' closer to a fall -
Close my eyes but ...
Sleep won't come - I'm turnin' on the lights
Sleep won't come - The TV's shinin' bright
Sleep won't come - Tonight will never end if -
Sleep won't come - If Sleep won't come
There's a bible in the drawer, right near the bed
What's it sayin' ???
There's a war of words that's fightin' in my head
I'm just prayin' but ...
Sleep won't come - I'm turnin' on the lights
Sleep won't come - The TV's shinin' bright
Sleep won't come - Tonight will never end if -
Sleep won't come - If Sleep won't come
I can see the pictures in my head
But I can't figure out what they have said
All I want to do is close my eyes
And forget that we said our good - byes
There's a picture hangin' on the wall
And I hear it call my name - my name
My life is not the same - It's not the same
Since you went away -
Come back and stay - Come back and stay
Come back and stay - Come back and stay
Sleep won't come - I'm turnin' on the lights
Sleep won't come - The TV's shinin' bright
Sleep won't come - Tonight will never end if -
Sleep won't come - If Sleep won't come -
If Sleep won't come ..........
