COULDN'T SLEEP song lyrics by Joel Sattler

I was up all night
I guess I couldn't get to sleep
I couldn't make things right
your heart was not mine to keep
in the dark night of the soul
it's always 3 A. M.
I have to just let go
and start my life again

I cannot make myself believe
I'll always be alone
a prisoner with no reprieve
waiting by the phone
o what a web we weave
when first we practice to deceive
ourselves

I couldn't sleep
I couldn't sleep
the whole world fell
into the deep
and I was left
left afloat
you didn't even
leave a note

I was up till dawn
you know I couldn't sleep
I know the line was drawn
you know I couldn't sleep
the moving finger writes
and having writ moves on
nor all thy prayer nor wit
shall lure it to come back
nor all thy tears wash out a word of it

I cannot make myself believe
I'll always be alone
a prisoner with no reprieve
waiting by the phone
o what a web we weave
when first we practice to deceive
ourselves
