America - Crying in My Sleep lyrics

I took a walk around the yard I dug the flowers till it got too hard I smoked my first pack of cigarettes today I watched the dogs play I went down, down to Lucy's Old Café 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 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 That's all that's wrong with me I just had a bad dream I 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 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 quite worth 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 In my sleep Crying trying to find you, baby In my sleep Crying trying to find you, baby In my sleep
