Lying wide awake through the night till the break of dawn Gazing for hours and hours at one page in this book So alone I can't get no rest Last night was a mess Running frantic all over town Just to see you again And tonight I only feel like a flag hanging still for years I would give you everything I have to feel your arms around me And I have lived so many fruitless years without going nowhere We're sinking into the night Down where that cold river flows I had some bad dreams last night Perhaps it don't mean a thing On the bridge you see for a mile Where the river runs out lies the ocean open wide And so dark in the night The summer's gone now What can you do Everything's closing in Something bad afoot in the wind taking everyone Tonight there lies a veil over this town so sad and grey Someone said you're gonna leave this town Don't fit you any longer And I just wish I could be by your side and leave this place forever But it's over in my heart and soul I know it's over Still I cannot sleep until I see you Then I will be gone Then it is over Then I disappear
