lyrics

Sleepyhead

You better fix your watch cause it says three-o’clock
Ain’t no way we’ve been talkin’ here since midnight.
And I can’t understand why I’m not your man
Dang…It hurts.

You tell me please don’t go. Just stay here til’ four
A candle makes a shadow on your lonely eyes.
And now my love it’s five and I’m too tired to drive
These lonely miles.

She writes I am fragile
With refrigerator magnets
Many more words to choose from
But she picks this sentence fragment.

Oh…what am I gonna do
When you got me all figured out?
You gonna leave me by myself?
And she said…
Oh no, I ain’t thought that far ahead
Now just lay your sleepyhead
And we’ll dream about it in the morning.

Morning comes around and snow lay on the ground
I kiss her on the head and then I slip away.
The cold cuts to the bone like a house
That ain’t a home…wish you were here.

The walls they’re not the same.
Without you I’ve got no name.
The TV light reminds me of your lonely eyes.
And then I get your all
And I feel myself falling again.

She writes I am fragile
With refrigerator magnets
Many more words to choose from
But she picks this sentence fragment.

Oh…what am I gonna do
When you got me all figured out?
You gonna leave me by myself?
And she said…
Oh no, I ain’t thought that far ahead
Now just lay your sleepyhead
And we’ll dream about it in the morning.

Jeff Stewart Toledo, Ohio

Jeff Stewart's approach is straight-forward: a man, his guitar, and a wide-eyed look at that crazy thing called love. His tightly crafted original songs paint the picture of a heart, once broken, suddenly surprised by the good fortune of discovering love anew. It’s music for anyone that has ever walked into the sunshine of a new future, however uncertain. ... more
