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, 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
I knocked the phone off the night stand
And the operator said, ' can i help you please？'
And i said ' no thanks baby, tonight there ain't no help for me.'
You see 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 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 look
And i woke up crying in my sleep
I was talking to your pillow.

And i reached out to touch your hand
I knocked the phone off the night stand
And the operator said, ' can i help you please？'
And i said'no thanks baby, tonight there ain't no help for me.'
You see i just had a bad dream
That's all that's wrong with me
You see i just had a bad dream.
