Nanci Griffith - Sweet Dreams Will Come

Lyrics

I'm sleepin' less in L.A.

Dreamin' of days yet to come

Oh, and I don't care what you say

I know that those days will surely come

I'm wakin' and I'm callin'

I'm shakin' and I'm fallin'

Oh, little darlin'

I wonder when those sweet dreams

Will come

There's a hole in the sky

That was made by my Right Guard

Last night

Oh, and then there's you and I

Assuring that everything's alright

We are nursing, pretending

Cursing then defending

And yet it's never ending

Makes ya' wonder when those sweet

Dreams will come

I am lookin' for some love

I guess that's why people buy dogs

Is there someone up above?

And I wonder is the Captain keeping

Logs

I am cursing and I'm praying

Not knowing what we're saying

And yet, it's everydaying

And I wonder when those sweet dreams

Will come

I feel like a fire

In the morning when the fire is out

I am walking on the wire

And the wire's what the whole

Thing is about

The pretender is thinning

Surrender is winning

And yet, it's a beginning

To feel like those sweet dreams will come

Oh, little darlin'

Don't cha wonder when those sweet

Dreams will come

(Oh, sweet dreams will come)
