I took a walk around the yard

Dug the flowers til it got too hard

I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today

And I watched the children play



And then I went down, down to Lucy's old Cafe

Put a half a case away

I took a sleeping pill and tried to watch TV

But you know baby the leading lady looked too much like you for the likes of me



And I woke up crying in my sleep

I was talking to your pillow

And I reached out to touch your hand

And knocked the phone off the nightstand

And the operator said, "May I help you please?"

No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me

I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me

I just had a bad dream



Went out to loosen up the car

Some how I wound up at the rainbow bar

I had a scotch and soda on the run

But I didn't get too far



And then I ran down, down some friends I used to know

Dragged them out to see the show

I drew myself a bath and I tried to read your book

But you know baby this time it just didn't seem quite worth the time it took



And I woke up crying in my sleep

I was talking to your pillow

And I reached out to touch your hand

And knocked the phone off the nightstand

And the operator said, "May I help you please?"

No thanks baby there's nothing you can really do for me

I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me

I just had a bad dream, that's all that's wrong with me



Crying in my sleep

Crying in my sleep (I woke up crying)

Crying in my sleep (Crying trying to find her)

Crying in my sleep (I woke up crying)

Crying in my sleep (Crying trying to find her)

Crying in my sleep
