Jethro Tait - I Don't Sleep Lyrics

Mama, where've my dreams gone?
Take me back to when I was young
When I believed in the odds
Those naive golden thoughts are lost

My lungs are filled with worry and it gets so overwhelming
I trip over my own feet more and more
A stranger in my body, now I don't know where I'm going
I'm feeling more unstable than before

When did the lights go down?
Cause mama, I don't sleep
Mama, I don't sleep
Show me the dark is gone
Cause mama, I don't sleep
Mama, I don't sleep

No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't

Where's the mystery gone?
Why are we shown everything at once?
My heart is always sore
My mind wants nothing more
Than to haunt me and torture me

Tell me, when did the lights go down?
Cause mama, I don't sleep
Mama, I don't sleep
Show me the dark is gone
Cause mama, I don't sleep
Mama, I don't sleep

No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't

I used to believe I could make it to the top
And I'd never be at the bottom with the rocks
A little misdirection
A lot of growing up
Now I don't dream
When did I give up?
Oh now

When did the lights go down?
Cause mama, I don't sleep
Mama, I don't sleep
Show me the dark is gone
Cause mama, I don't sleep
(Mama, I don't sleep) Oh, I don't sleep

No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
No, I don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
