Sweet Dreams Will Come

Nanci Griffith · Little Love Affairs [2009]

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
