Sweet Dreams Will Come Lyrics - Nanci Griffith

I'm sleepin' less in L.A. 

Dreamin' of days yet to come 

I don't care what you say 

I know that those days will surely come 

And I'm wakin' and I'm callin' 

I'm shakin' and I'm fallin' 

And 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 

The pretender is thinning 

Surrender is winning 

And yet, it's a beginning 

To feel like those sweet dreams will come 

And oh, little darlin' 

Don't ya wonder when those sweet dreams will come 

Oh, sweet dreams will come 

Oh, sweet dreams will come 

Oh, sweet dreams will come 

Oh, sweet dreams will come 

Oh, sweet dreams will come
