Lyrics

I wake up and tears are falling Crying in my sleep I dreamed that you were well and calling Crying in my sleep For as long as I remember I been tending sheep In the absence of your pasture Crying in my sleep Ever since I was a child Crying in my sleep Dreamed you turned to me and smiled Crying in my sleep When I lay me down to slumber Pray my soul to keep From the day you came asunder Crying in my sleep When I wake up To a tear-filled pillow case Beneath my face For a moment you're here again Near again But then you only disappear again When I open my eyes Someday when I'm free of longing I won't make a peep But for now I see no wrong in Crying in my sleep Some folks sleep in peace and quiet And some folks lay and weep Carrying that heavy sorrow Crying in my sleep Crying in my sleep Crying in my sleep
