Too Hot to Sleep

Pour myself a cup of coffee, so late, you know it's awfully quiet out there
The DON'T WALK sign is blinking bright, there's no cars on the street tonight, and the summer air
Is so thick and humid, too heavy to breathe deep
It's too quiet to think, and it's too hot to sleep

I should dial my sister Marianne, she's someone who understands what love has wrought
I'd give the world just to hear her voice, hell, I'd give the works for any noise that drowns out the thoughts
Of a love that I had once that I somehow couldn't keep
It's hours after midnight, and it's too hot to sleep

It would seem that folks like me don't get to hold on to our dreams
It's all ships that don't come in
At least that's how it seems

Pour myself another cup, the morning sun is coming up and the dawn is grey
Remind myself I'm not depressed, I shower shave and then get dressed for work today
My love for you is over, heaven knows that it's to weep
I've never felt this far from anyone, and it's too hot to sleep
