So they wouldn't want you to get up no more
They're only there to get you down
Who would have thought you'd be sitting here
Crying all night
Feel the lights go off in your eyes

I've been travellin' these dusty roads for a long time now
And I ain't gotten no rest
I feel the sun rise up behind my back
Watch the moon fall down on my face.

CHORUS:
Don't let me fall asleep tonight. ol' girl
Don't let me have no dreams
Just let me lie here in your arms tonight
And let your love come over me.


All the workers have walked out into the night
And the bars have all run dry
There's no place for us here anymore
If only I could sing into your ears
Tell you how much I feel;

There's so much sadness in this heart
And it's bleeding me out
My mind feels like I've been drinkin' all night
Could I just have some water from that cup of yours
Could you hold me up if I stagger to fall.


CHORUS:
Don't let me fall asleep tonight. ol' girl
Don't let me have no dreams
Just let me lie here in your arms tonight
And let your love come over me.
