Crying in My Sleep Songtext
von America

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

And I went down, down to Lucy′s old Café
I put a half a case away
I took a sleeping pill and 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
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 read 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
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)
