Instead of dreaming
I Sleepwalk
Cause I Lost You
And now what am I to do
What to do.
Can't believe that We're through
I don't care how much Tou tell Me.
Sleeptalk
Cause I miss You
While the memory of You
Lingers like a song
Darling, I was so wrong
But I'll be right some Day.
The Night fills My lonely place
I see Your face
I know, I miss You so
I Still Love You
And it drives Me insane.
Sleepwalk
Every Night I Just Sleepwalk
And when You walk inside the door
I Will Sleepwalk no more.
Sleepwalk
Every Night I Just Sleepwalk
And when You walk inside the door
I Will Sleepwalk no more.
I Will Sleepwalk no more.
I Will Sleepwalk no more.
About This Song
"Sleepwalk" is a haunting instrumental ballad that captures the disorienting emotional state of heartbreak and longing through its distinctive steel guitar melody. The song's dreamy, ethereal sound perfectly embodies the metaphor of sleepwalking through life after losing someone you love, with the weeping steel guitar conveying deep melancholy without needing words. Santo & Johnny's innovative use of the steel guitar created a unique sonic landscape that feels both nostalgic and timeless, blending elements of country, pop, and early rock. The track became a defining example of instrumental storytelling, proving that pure melody could communicate complex emotions as powerfully as any lyrics. Its influence can be heard across decades of music, from surf rock to indie pop, making it one of the most recognizable and emotionally resonant instrumentals in popular music history.
