You know the hurt's
so deep
that I can't sleep or eat,
and what I'm hoping for
is to feel your kisses sweet.
If we could just talk
things might be a little more clear.
I really need the chance
to explain the way I feel.
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
thinking of you constantly,
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
wishing you were here with me.
I can't sleep (can't sleep
where are you please(?))
When I get home from work,
sit down and watch TV,
The night falls
just like a bad dream.
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
thinking of you constantly,
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
wishing you were here with me.
I can't sleep (can't sleep
where are you please(?))
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
thinking of you constantly,
I can't sleep (can't sleep),
wishing you were here with me.
I can't sleep (can't sleep
where are you please(?))B. R. Hornsby/John Hornsby
The rain held back again
Haven't felt a drop since you went away
Outside of town, the hills are brown
I guess way out there you'd call 'em golden
Lines outside the welfare store
The clock is stopped at the bank next door
They yelled like hell when the boys left home
Now just like you they're all gone
The river runs low tonight
Eyes are closed on the waterline
The river runs low tonight
And you're always drifting through my mind
The river runs low tonight
And nobody waits for the tides to rise
But I'm gonna wait till you make
The river run high
The old man's gettin' on
Keeps the morning paper in his overcoat
It keeps him warm in the cold storm
And he told me today I look a little lonely
Up in the air they're heading south
The sky is light to the west of town
With a little cash I could get around
You know I'd come out there and find you
The river runs low tonight
Eyes are closed on the waterline
The river runs low tonight
And you're always drifting through my mind
The river runs low tonight
And nobody waits for the tides to rise
But I'm gonna wait till you make
The river run high
Up in the air they're heading south
The sky is light to the west of town
With a little cash I could get around
You know I'd come out there and find you
The river runs low tonight
Eyes are closed on the waterline
The river runs low tonight
And you're always drifting through my mind
The river runs low tonight
And nobody waits for the tides to rise
But I'm gonna wait till you make
The river run high
