Caroline Polachek - Insomnia
[Verse 1]
How long can sunlight stay warm in a stone?
How long 'til the bath runs cold?
[Chorus]
Come dawn, come day, come half-awake
Come blue, come gray, come waves that break
And it's not enough
No reply, no relief
[Verse 2]
Dreams of dry fields
That once were green
Burned by someone just like me
[Chorus]
Come dawn, come day, come half-awake
Come blue, come gray, come waves that break
And it's not enough
No reply, no relief
[Outro]
Hold on
Hold on
To save a single living piece of us
I still got it
I still got your heat
