Hank Williams Jr. - These Men Who Never Sleep lyrics

The city's sleeping now time's standing still But some aren't sleeping now some never will The night is watched by sleepless eyes and prowled by sleepless men Haunted by a yesterday that's filled with what might have been Vacant windows stare down at them as they search the empty streets For answers they know they'll never find these men who never sleep They've tossed and turned and read and smoked and bravely try again And pray for sleep to simply come and gently cover them But the nameless pain makes them rise to walk the silent streets For only love can close the eyes of these men who never sleep The city's sleeping now time's standing still But some aren't sleeping now some never will So we'll leave them there to walk and search with burnin' eyes and souls The silence of the endless night neath stars of frozen gold As they wait the touch of the Master's hand to bring them eternal peace Then with smilin' lips they'll close their eyes these men who never sleep The city's waking now a new day dawns But for the sleepless ones the night goes on
