I Been 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, 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 talkin' to your pillow
and I reached out to touch your hand
I knocked the 'phone off the night stand and the operator said
"May 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 I didn't get too far then I...I ran down, down some friends I used to know, 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 talkin to your pillow
and I reached out to touch your hand
I knocked the 'phone off the night stand and the operator said
"May 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.
