Nightmare

I’d be havin' nightmares
If I could only sleep
I’d give anything to see your face again
My head wrapped in my pillow,
I pray my soul to keep
Well I’d be havin' nightmares
If I could only sleep
Now I’d be havin' nightmares
If I could only sleep
My heart beats like a crazed and captive animal
The whiskey flows in rivers
Where memories run deep
Yeah, well I’d be havin' nightmares
If I could only sleep
I’d be havin' nightmares
If I could only sleep
Prisoner of conscience,
I just walk the floor
Well I’d think of bribin' angels,
But angels don’t come cheap
Yeah I’d be havin' nightmares
If I could only sleep
Yeah I’d be havin' nightmares
If I could only sleep
The haunted eyes
The vacant stare
The constant scare
Is always there
The empty house
The darkened street
The haunted eyes lookin' back at me
