I′d be havin' nightmares

If I could only sleep

I′d give anything to see your face again

My head wrapped in my pillow,

I pray my soul to keep

Well I'd be havin' nightmares

If I could only sleep

Now I′d be havin′ nightmares

If I could only sleep

My heart beats like a crazed and captive animal

The whiskey flows in rivers

Where memories run deep

Yeah, well I'd be havin′ nightmares

If I could only sleep

I'd be havin′ nightmares

If I could only sleep

Prisoner of conscience,

I just walk the floor

Well I'd think of bribin′ angels,

But angels don't come cheap

Yeah I'd be havin′ nightmares

If I could only sleep

Yeah I′d be havin' nightmares

If I could only sleep

The haunted eyes

The vacant stare

The constant scare

Is always there

The empty house

The darkened street

The haunted eyes lookin′ back at me
