Lyrics
I went to sleep last night
With nothing in my head
Teardrops on my pillow
Raindrops on my bed
It’s been such a long, long time
Well, it’s been no time at all
But I’ve spent all night running to you
Just to wake up and fall
It doesn’t matter how hard I try
The evening fog clouds up my eyes
And I can’t feel a thing at all
So strike the match and take my hand
Your wish was never my command
And I can’t feel a thing at all
Listless questions hang on my brow
And the answers cower deep inside
For I turned myself around
With nowhere left to hide
I woke up in a sunbeam
With nothing left to say
For it’s much too far to leave now
And far too bold to stay
It doesn’t matter how hard I try
The evening fog clouds up my eyes
And I can’t feel a thing at all
So strike the match and take my hand
Your wish was never my command
And I can’t feel a thing at all
So go on now
Turn me around
But I’ve shed this blood
So I don’t feel a thing at all
Now that this has passed
Passed me by
I’ll fall to the floor and pull myself back up now
That’s the way
That’s the way it’s gonna be
But with every word I say
I know I don’t wanna live this way
Well, I suppose that I wish too hard on my convictions
I suppose I’ve said it all before
Left you wondering on your own
But darling,
I went to sleep last night
With teardrops on my pillow
Well I write, and I run around and round in circles,
But I can’t feel a thing at all
So strike the match and take my hand
Your wish was never my command
And I can’t feel a thing at all
So go on now
Turn me around
But the pain is drowned
And my hands are bound
And though your tears still fall
I don’t feel a thing at all
I went to sleep last night
With nothing in my head
Teardrops on my pillow
Raindrops on my bed
