Sleepless In Love Lyrics - Joe Ely

He had hair, black as a fiberglass speedboat 

The morning air was crisp as a brand new bank note 

He swaggered like a surfer on a Louisiana dirt bike 

He swerved like a trucker on the Dallas Turnpike 

They were sleepless in love, they were lovers 

They were lovers, sleepless in love 

She had eyes, bright as a sunlit Air stream 

She told no lies, she hardly ever had a bad dream 

She was calm, still as a July Willow 

She was tender, soft as a K Mart pillow 

They were sleepless in love, they were lovers 

They were lovers, sleepless in love 

He held her close, tight as a Harley's drive chain 

Like a rose, riding on a midnight freight train 

They shivered, like the streamers in a gypsy car lot 

They melted, like a rain on an Irish rooftop 

They went crazy, crazy as a the wild wild west wind 

When it chases a tumbleweed with too much top-spin 

They made love like, wild horses in a hurricane 

Chasing rainbows in a souped-up silver seaplane 

They were sleepless in love, they were lovers 

They were lovers, sleepless in love 

They were sleepless in love, they were lovers 

They were lovers, sleepless in love
