Lyrics Sleepless In Love - Joe Ely

Sleepless In Love

He had hair… black as a fiberglass speedboat
The morning air… was crisp as a brand new bank note
He swaggered… like a surfer on a Louisiana dirtbike
He swerved… like a trucker on the Dallas Turnpike
They were SLEEPLESS IN LOVE, they were Lovers
They were lovers, SLEEPLESS IN LOVE
She had eyes, bright as a sunlit Airstream
She told no lies, she hardly ever had a bad dream
She was calm… still as a July Willow
She was tender… soft as a K Mart Pillow
They were SLEEPLESS IN LOVE, they were Lovers
They were lovers, SLEEPLESS IN LOVE
He held her close, tight as a Harley’s drive chain
Like a rose, riding on a midnight freight train
They shivered, like the streamers in a gypsy car lot
They melted, like rain on an Irish rooftop
They went crazy, crazy as a the wild wild west wind
When it chases a tumbleweed with too much top-spin
They made love like, wild horses in a hurricane
Chasing rainbows in a souped-up silver seaplane!
Repeat Chorus twice
