Sleepless in Love Lyrics


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 dirt bike
He swerved like a trucker on the Dallas TurnpikeThey were sleepless in love, they were lovers
They were lovers, sleepless in loveShe had eyes, bright as a sunlit Air stream
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 pillowThey were sleepless in love, they were lovers
They were lovers, sleepless in loveHe 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 a rain on an Irish rooftopThey 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 seaplaneThey were sleepless in love, they were lovers
They were lovers, sleepless in loveThey were sleepless in love, they were lovers
They were lovers, sleepless in love
