Crying In My Sleep

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 I watched the dogs play

Then I went down, down to Lucy's old cafe

I put a half a case away

I 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 knock the phone off the nightstand

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

And I said, "No thanks, baby

Tonight there'll be no help for me, you see

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

Somehow I wound up at the rainbow bar

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

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?"

And I said, "No thanks, baby

Tonight there'll be no help for me, you see

I just had a bad dream"

I woke up crying

Crying, trying to find you, baby

Crying, trying to find you, baby

Crying, trying to find you, baby

(Crying in my sleep)

Crying, trying to find you, baby

(Crying in my sleep)

Crying, trying to find you, baby

(Crying in my sleep)
