Art Garfunkel - Crying in my sleep (live 77')

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 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.
I ran 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
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.

Impeccable - The voice of the 60's and 70's.

this song is so sad... It makes me think more like the person lost someone to death more than a break up...

[bledpicker]

This is wonderful, but it would be even better if we could hear back vocal.
