The cracks in the ceiling
Are growing longer by the hour
My hair’s gonna be a mess
Cuz it’s still wet from the shower
And I got so nervous
That I vacuumed all the rooms
Although the kitchen sparkles like a jewel
This dust cloud never moves
Never moves
Never moves
The late night infomercial
Sells me things that I don’t need
I can slice and dice
But when you’re gone
My heart won’t let me sleep
You’re so many towns away
I try to count the miles
Like sheep over a fence
The number just keeps getting higher
So I drank a beer and watched some television
But I cannot find a comfortable position
Till you come home
Sweet slumber hurry and carry me away
To the shores of your ocean
And the warmth of your embrace
Although when I’m awake
I’m alone in misery
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams tonight
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams
I’ll be holding your hand
And we’ll be drifting off to sleep
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams
The memories are dancing
Yeah they’re dancing in my head
I can see you in the garden
I can smell you in the bed
These days are never ending
I’m so lonesome with you gone
Like a Roman Catholic wedding
They go on and on and on
Till life becomes an awkward contradiction
Won’t you help me find a comfortable position
Till you come home
Sweet slumber hurry and carry me away
To the shores of your ocean
And the warmth of your embrace
Although when I’m awake
I’m alone in misery
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams tonight
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams
I’ll be holding your hand
And we’ll be drifting off to sleep
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams
Bad thoughts they won’t stay away
They infiltrate my mind
Ah the things that I would say
If I could talk to you tonight
The moonlight seems to brand me
With it’s beams as sharp as ice
They bounce right off your photograph
And deep into my eyes
And it brands me with it’s cruel affliction
Won’t you help me find a comfortable position
Till you come home
Sweet slumber hurry and carry me away
To the shores of your ocean
And the warmth of your embrace
Although when I’m awake
I’m alone in misery
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams tonight
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams
I’ll be holding your hand
And we’ll be drifting off to sleep
I’ll be holding your hand in my dreams
