Sleepless

As you lie before me now like a shadow On a pea green sea Never thought that I could find you so hollow Laying into me But this cup of wine All salt and brines make me sleepy And sorrow sows A field of tears that will never yield a single penny But I don't know I've got nothing to hold onto Wished for gold so I could buy you a palace By the riverside You'd come in and I would fill your diamond chalice You were still alive But this cup of wine All salt and brines make me sleepy And sorrow sows A field of tears that will never yield a single penny But I don't know I've got nothing to hold onto I've got nothing to hold onto Were you sleepless tearing at the air? Was the water everywhere? Were you fretful to wade into the room? I'd been wanting to hear from you - Oh no Hand it over (Hand it over) Hand it over (Ooh-ooh) You're weary laying down You did your time so thank you very much Hand it over (Hand it over) Hand it over (Ooh-ooh) So now your hopes are all laid But you hand it all away Did his eyelids fix on empty chairs? You had traveled to lay beside A gentle torture to watch it all recede And all the while your mother slept beside him - Oh no Hand it over (Hand it over) Hand it over (Ooh-ooh) You're weary laying down You did your time so thank you very much Hand it over (Hand it over) Hand it over (Ooh-ooh) So now your hopes are all laid But you hand it all away Were you sleepless tearing at the air? Was the water everywhere? Were you fearful and long to run away From the cold clasp of Illinois? - Oh no Hand it over (Hand it over) Hand it over (Ooh-ooh) You're weary laying down You did your time so thank you very much Hand it over (Hand it over) Hand it over (Ooh-ooh) So now your hopes are all laid But you hand it all away But you hand it all away
