Insomnia

In the dim of the streetlight, breaking through the window A copper tint on my life Sentenced penance, where is my innocence Why can't I just forget, hide away in my dreams A copper tint on my life Sentenced penance, where is my innocence Why can't I just forget, hide away in my dreams What is the night to me if my dreams never come What is the night to me once the lights go out and I'm all alone No matter how hard I try, I keep getting promised things will be better I sit here at this hotel, torn, stained carpet floor, bathroom in the hall Newspaper walls, my house no longer for sale, I stew in low income hell What is the night to me if my dreams never come What is the night to me once the lights go out and I'm all alone I've heard it sang, dream when you're feeling blue, Sandman take me away She left for Germany, she cheated and she won I can't win one damn night of sleep What is the night to me if my dreams never come What is the night to me once the lights go out and I'm all alone What is the night to me if my dreams never come What is the night to me when I can't sleep I can't sleep I just can't sleep
