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
