Crying in my sleep
I took a walk around the yard
I dug the flowers till it got too hard
Smoked my first pack of cigarettes today
Then I, I went down, down to Lucy's old cafe
I put a half a case away
Took a sleeping pill and
I 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
I knocked the phone off the night stand
And the operator said, " Can I help you please?"
And I said " No thanks baby,
tonight there ain't no help for me."
You see I just had a bad dream
That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream
( MUSIC)
Went out to loosen up the car
Somehow I wound up at the Rainbow Bar
I had a scotch and soda on the run
But didn't get too far
Then I, I ran down, down some friends
I used to know
I dragged them out to see the show
I ran myself a bath and
I tried to read your book
But you know baby, this time it just didn't seem
Worth all the time it look
And I woke up crying in my sleep
I was talking to your pillow
And I reached out to touch your hand
I knocked the phone off the night stand
And the operator said, " Can I help you please?"
And I said " No thanks baby,
tonight there ain't no help for me."
You see I just had a bad dream
That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream
That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream
I dug the flowers till it got too hard
Smoked my first pack of cigarettes today
Then I, I went down, down to Lucy's old cafe
I put a half a case away
Took a sleeping pill and
I 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
I knocked the phone off the night stand
And the operator said, " Can I help you please?"
And I said " No thanks baby,
tonight there ain't no help for me."
You see I just had a bad dream
That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream

That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream
That's all that's wrong with me
You see I just had a bad dream
