Crying in My Sleep

Crying In My Sleep (LP版) - Jimmy Webb

I took a walk around the yard

I dug the flowers till it got too hard

Smoked my first pack of cigarettes today

Well I watch to dogs play in's

Then I

I went down

Down to Lucy's old cafe

I put a half a case away

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

I knocked the phone off the night stand

The operator said

May I help you please

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

See I just had a bad dream

Went out to loosen up the car

Somehow I wound up the to 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

Would brother time in to

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

The operator said

May I help you please

I said

No thanks baby

Tonight there ain't no help for me

You see I just had a bad dream

Woke up crying

Crying trying to find baby

Crying trying to find baby

Crying trying to find baby

Crying trying to find baby
