Virtue's Insomniac
Patrick Cannell © 1997
I've been talking in my sleep lately
And the nights are long.
In my night gown, pacing up and down
And I think I know what I've been doing wrong.
How I treat you, well I just bet you
Took a dislike to me.
It could have been so divine but you know
My troubled conscience will not let me be.
Oh, give me one more chance I pray
Before you throw it all away.
Yes, it was craziness I know
To let a woman like you go.
Counting sheep doesn't help me to sleep
And the night's unkind.
Show forgiveness and end this business
'Cause I think I know why I'm losing my mind.
Oh, give me one more chance I pray
Before you throw it all away.
Yes, it was craziness I know
To let a woman like you go.
And use your influence I plead
To help a guilty man in need
Or else my heart will always be
Between the desert and the sea.
