Insomnia (Feat. Kristen Lambert With Bill Frisell & Nels Cline)

Tried to fall asleep but it was no use
Images so deep that I could fall through
Circle around my head like endless rain
Across a window pane till all I hear
Is their refrain
Tried to read a book about the Spanish war
But all the empty phrases had been said before
"The corporal led, two thousand dead
The first lieutenant lost his head"
And what to do?
I think of you
I call your name
But there's no reply
Why is it only a memory that holds me tight?
I call your name but you're no in sight
Why is it only a memory that holds me tight
All through the night?
Though I haven't seen your face in so long
What there is that does remain is so strong
I drop the pen upon the page
You walk across the stage of what I once held dear
Another year
I call your name
But there's no reply
Why is it only a memory that holds me tight?
I call your name but you're no in sight
Why is it only a memory that holds me tight
All through the night?
I call your name
I call your name but you're no in sight
Ah all through the night
