-- I took a walk around the yard Dug the flowers 'til 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 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 is no help for me 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 at the rainbow bar I had a scotch and soda on the run But I didn't get too far The I 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 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 nightstand And the operator said ("May I help you please?") And I said "No thanks baby tonight there is no help for me You see I just had a bad bad dream that's all that's wrong with me See I just had a bad dream      You know I just had a bad dream"         Outro: (repeat & fade) I woke up crying___     You know I just had a bad dream Crying in my sleep You know I just had a bad dream
