Lost Dog Street Band - Sleeping Tight Lyrics

If I had one wish oh, I would sleeping tight
Rest my weary eyelids and drift off in the night
But I'm still contemplating and in comes the morning light
I choke on my breath as clouds go rolling by

In my dreams oh, your face it is quite clear
I held you so close were did you disappear?

Yonder comes my baby she's prayin' for a smile
She sees the hurt i'm in and the devil in my eyes
She knows i'm dreading but hoping for a sign
A long lost friend would save me from my nightmares tonight

I kept on walking and refused every ride
Said i'm searching for a ghost have you seen him pass by?

Somewhere I'm pickin' daisies oh I'm laughin' like a child
Far from misfortune and a worn out tortured mind
Maybe someday I'll see you on a lonely drunken train ride
You could pick a melody and I'll just close my eyes

Life is hell and God can't put you through it twice
Dreams are in between but I ain't sleepin' tonight
