Sleepless - The Waiting

Another night and sleep escapes me

Cling to my pillow like a bride

I pass the time closing corners of my mind and I have something there to hide

Oh sin, oh sin

It leaves me here without

And hallowed out within

Oh sin, oh sin

Like a fool to his folly

I keep coming back, again

And His children all are sleepless

Inventing their excuses why

We play the game, dividing up the blame against our Father’s own reply

Oh sin (oh sin), oh sin (oh sin)

It leaves all without

And hallowed out within

Oh sin (oh sin), oh sin (oh sin)

Like a fool to his folly

You keep coming back again

And it leaves you far from home

It’s a bright and burning fire that leaves you cold as stone

Makes you everybody’s friend

Leaves you desperately alone

It’s a price too high to, pay

Turn off the news and try to sleep now

Because I’m losing track of shooting sprees

And I can’t abide another symptom analyzed

When it’s all the same disease

Oh sin, oh sin

It leaves us here without

And, hallowed out within

Oh sin, oh sin

Like a fool to his folly

We keep coming back again

Oh sin, oh sin

Like a fool to his folly

We keep coming back coming back coming back, again

And again

We keep coming back again

Back

And we ride, ride, ride

And now it leaves us empty

To a love that leaves us hallow and here without, here without

Hollowed out again

We keep coming back again and again, and again

Oh do we ride

Why do we, follow

Follow

Why do we keep coming back again

Yeah we keep coming back

Yeah we keep coming back

Yeah we keep coming back again

Back again

Why

Why

We’re all like sheep and gone astray

We just turn and go his own way

Why

We confess

Just confess

Amen
