I LIE AWAKE

(P. Assirati)

The upside of insomnia! It’s a love song to the rhythm of clock ticking in the early hours. We capo-ed it off higher to place the pitch voice sound frail.

 

Your clothes, your diamond smile and that thing that you do
A candle light in your heart and a key to your room
All those pretty dreams you have just waiting to come true
At night I lie awake thinking of you

You’ve been taking down too many books and taking too much on
Please don’t turn me away or send me back home
I hold your picture in my head; it’s an echo of your form
At night I lie awake with the radio on

The boys who made you cry, watching you drown
Days you’ve spent in a haze, thrashing around
You’ve been picking through the things I said
Make believing they’re not true
At night I lie awake thinking of you

Waking up alone again, feeling let down
Getting on with your day, face to the ground
No-one gets to see your soul or your eyes of powder blue
At night I lie awake thinking of you
