    Story Behind the Song
    I couldn't sleep. This tune and harmonies started going through my head. I got up in the middle of the night and recorded the tune on a cheapie recorder I keep in my room, then I fell asleep.
    The next day I played what I had recorded and started writing the song. Several days later I started producing the version you hear here.

    Lyrics
    Verse 1
    I've been lyin' here awake since 'bout a quarter-to-two
    Well just how long will it take to forget about you?
    If I toss and turn all night will the pain be gone?

    Verse 2
    Well it struck me like lightning comin' out of the blue
    Something so frightening it can't be true:
    The love that seemed so right, you say is wrong
    Such a long way until the light of dawn

    Chorus
    New York's so noisy, I could never sleep
    Houston's so humid, I didn't want to eat
    LA had that freeway, Seattle has that rain...
    To find the light of day I've come a long way

    Verse 3
    I've gone to place after place and lived in town after town
    Searchin' for a face that I've never found
    And even if I find myself, you'd still be gone
    Such a long way until the light of dawn

    (Repeat Chorus)

    Bridge
    The new morning light finds me screaming...
    But you're here by my side, and I've just been dreaming that
    (Repeat Chorus)
