jimmy webb - crying in my sleep lyrics

i took a walk around the yard
i 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
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
and knocked the phone off the night stand
an the operator said
“can i help you please?”
and i said “no thanks baby, tonight there ain’t no help for me
you know, 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
and i, i ran down
to 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 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 night stand
an the operator said “can i help you please?”
and i said “no thanks baby, tonight there ain’t no help for me
you know i just had a bad dream.”
that’s all that’s wrong with me
you see i just had a bad dream

i woke up cryin’
cryin’ and try’na find me, babe
i woke up cryin’
cryin’ and try’na find me, babe
i woke up cryin’
cryin’ and try’na find me, babe
