Crying in My Sleep

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I took a walk around the yard I dug the flowers 'til it got too hard I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today And then I watched the dogs playin' Then I, I went down Down to Lucy's old café I put a half a case away I took a sleepin' pill and I tried to watch TV But you know baby, the leading lady Looked too much like you for the likes of me [Chorus] And I woke up cryin' in my sleep I was talking to your pillow And I reached out to touch your hand And knocked the phone off the night stand The operator said "May I help you please?" And I said "No thanks baby, tonight there ain't no help for me See, I just had a bad dream That's all that's wrong with me You see I just had a bad dream." [Verse 2] Went out to loosen up the car Somehow I wound up at the Rainbow Bar Ah, I had a scotch and soda on the run But I 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 took [Chorus] And I woke up cryin' in my sleep I was talking to your pillow And I reached out to touch your hand And knocked the phone off the night stand The operator said "May I help you please?" And I said "No thanks baby, tonight there ain't no help for me See, I just had a bad dream." [Outro] I woke up cryin' Cryin' and try'na find you, babe Cryin' and try'na find you, babe Cryin' and try'na find you, babe Cryin' and try'na find you, babe Cryin' and try'na find you, babe...
