I wake from trouble sleep 
in the middle of the night 
Reaching for the soft hand 
that once held mine so tight 
My fingers touch the pillow 
where you once layed your head 
And I run my hand down 
the cold cold sheets 
on your side of the bed 

My head spins from 
the perfume 
that lingers every place 
And I kiss the trace 
of lipstick 
left on your pillow case 
And here in this nightmare 
of darkness 
I remember the day we wed 
And I clutch and tear 
at the tear stained sheets 
on my side of the bed 

My arms long to hold you 
my lips hunger for your kiss 
And I just couldn't 
stand to go through 
another lonely night like this 

These hands that once 
coressed you 
take a bottle from the drawer 
It says take one for sleeping 
but I'm taking many more 
What good is there 
in living if the dreams 
we shed are dead 
So now at last 
I lay me down to sleep 
on you side of the bed
