Steve Tannen - Sing Me to Sleep lyrics

Well I hung around like cigarette smoke on your jacket And in the motel rooms the lullaby was the sound of traffic And the pretty girls on the avenue they give it up for free I stand in a streetlight so everyone can see I'm so lonely without you Chorus: Baby sing me to sleep turn down the covers ‘cause talk is cheap Baby sing me to sleep ah turn out the lights Remember the nights when the rain fell eighteen inches deep Baby sing me to sleep And at closing time we're a nickel and a dime In the deep back pocket of America Trying to find wings or something to carry you home Right now you better make the best of your situation Escape through a hole in the conversation The sun comes up like a revelation and I'm so lonely without you Repeat chorus But you came up like a wind came up like a weed All black and blue all lipstick and need To dig a hole in your heart to bury the doubts She holds the bottle like a gun in her mouth You head downtown in your black leather jacket You're getting old now but you still stop traffic The sun comes slow like it's thinking it over The moon shoots a dirty look over it's shoulder And I'm so lonely without you
