SLEEP, HAUNTED HEART


WORDS & MUSIC: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
GOLDFINGER PUBLISHING, 2000


Sleep, haunted heart sleep away in the dark
I cry, cry, cry there in my dreams
Haunted heart won’t let me sleep

 

Sometimes when nightly shadows fall
I try not to think of any thing at all
But then there’s the smell of your sweet perfume
And memories of words that I said to you

 

Sleep, haunted heart sleep away in the dark
I cry, cry, cry there in my dreams
Haunted heart won’t let me sleep

 

Then I long for your sweet embrace
But now someone else has taken my place
And holds you just the way I used to do
While I’m stuck here with a vision of blue

 

Sleep, haunted heart sleep away in the dark
I cry, cry, cry there in my dreams
Haunted heart won’t let me sleep
Haunted heart won’t let me sleep
Haunted heart won’t let me sleep
