behind the wall of sleep

she had hair like jeannie shrimpton back in 1965

she had legs that never ended

i was halfway paralyzed

she was tall and cool and pretty and she dressed as black as coal

if she asked me to i'd murder

i would gladly lose my soul

now i lie in bed and think of her

sometimes i even weep

then i dream of her behind the wall of sleep

she held a bass guitar and she was playing in a band

and she stood just like bill wyman

now i am her biggest fan

now i know i'm one of many who would like to be your friend

and i've got to find a way to let you know i'm not like them

now i lie in bed and think of her

sometimes i even weep

then i dream of her behind the wall of sleep

now i lie in bed and think of her

sometimes i even weep

then i dream of her behind the wall of sleep

got your number from a friend of mine who lives in your hometown

called you up to have a drink

your roommate said you weren't around

now i know i'm one of many who would like to be your friend

and i've got to find a way to let you know i'm not like them

now i lie in bed and think of her

sometimes i even weep

then i dream of her behind the wall of sleep

behind the wall of sleep

behind the wall of sleep

behind the wall of sleep
