lyrics

SLEEPLESS

Sleepless, sleepless
Full moon’s rising
Sandman’s gone away

In the middle of the night
Hours since I put out the light
Brain is working overtime
Trying to solve the riddle of this love of mine

I’m the kind of girl who likes to get things straight
I’m not so good at wait and see
I should be cool and distant
But that’s not me

Another minute has gone by
And it feels like, it feels like an hour
I’ve gotta find a way to empty out my mind
I’ve gotta find a way to get those thoughts so clear inside
I’ve gotta find a way to empty out my head
I’ve gotta find a way to clear those thoughts away instead
You see, you see me twisting, twisting, twisting and turning
Go away, go away, leave me alone, leave me alone,
Let me be, let me be

Looking up I see the paint begin to flake
Yes I know that love is give and take
I’ve got to keep away because he needs a break
And maybe I should paint this room magnolia

The yearning soul in her voice comes from her Irish folk roots (Boreen) but the warm velvet overtones arise from her jazz diva alter ego. (Jane O'Brien and Band, S.T.A.R.) ... more
