Insomnia

Marillion · Other Songs - Marillion

Curl up tight into a ball

Curl my body against the soil

Staring up here

At the cathedral wall

I will sleep tonight



Be a baby. forget it all

Be a baby watch the quiet stones

Massive friend cathedral wall

I will sleep tonight



A mother to the living

A mother to the dead

Silent as the moonlight

I come to lay my head

And I won't know you. anymore



The peckish evening rolls once more

Into the ravenous night

Of hunger pains

That keep our troubled souls awake



A mother to the living

A mother to the dead

My ghost will drink the moonlight

Magic stones my heart and bones

And I won't know you. anymore



She's cold and she knows peace. cathedral wall

She's cold. she shows. I borrow

Keep away

Keep you away my love, my love

And pray

I might sleep tonight



The violence of my heartbeat

The violence of the blood

I will sleep with the cathedral

And, one day, you'll give up

And I will love you

But I won't know you

Anymore
