I was sleeping, listen Ellie,

Dreaming of days yet come



I don't care what you say

I know that those days are sure to come



And I'm waking and I'm calling

I'm shaking and I'm falling

And oh little darling

I wonder when those sweet dreams will come



There's a hole in the sky

That was made by my right guard last night

And then there's you and I

Assuring that everything's all right

We are nursing, pretending

Cursing, then defending

And yet it's neverending

Makes you wonder when those sweet dreams will come



I'm looking 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 everyday 'n

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 is what the whole thing is about



The pretending is thinning

Surrender is winning

And yet it's beginning

To feel like those sweet dreams will come



The pretending is thinning

Surrender is winning

And yet it's beginning

To feel like those sweet dreams will come



And oh little darling

Don't you wonder when those sweet dreams will come?



Sweet dreams will come

Sweet dreams will come

Sweet dreams will come

Sweet dreams will come
