Song Lyrics

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

Ely
