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 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

And knocked the phone off the night stand

An the operator said "Can I help you please?"

And I said "No thanks baby, tonight there ain't no help for me

You know I just had a bad dream"

That's all that's wrong with me

You see I just had a bad dream

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 I didn't get too far

I ran 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

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 night stand

An the operator said "Can I help you please?"

And I said "No thanks baby, tonight there ain't no help for me

You know I just had a bad dream"

That's all that's wrong with me

You see I just had a bad dream
