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
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
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 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
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
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
