From the recording Underkill
Lyrics
These fingers are all to the bone
For someone they don't touch.
I'm keeping on the lights at home,
But I don't get there much.
Oh Lord what can I do?
My body's stuck here working,
And my mind is stuck on you.
Sometimes I like to picture you.
You're walking down our street.
I bet you turned a head or two.
I wish that one was me.
Oh Lord ain't it a shame.
You're mine to have,
And yet I don't have time enough to say.
You give me sweet dreams, my love.
The whole day through.
I rush home and you're sleeping alone,
So I say sweet dreams to you.
We didn't have too much before.
At least our time was free.
And now the one I'm working for,
I never get to see.
Oh Lord what can be done.
When all we got is gold and green, and we don't see the son.
You give me sweet dreams, my love.
The whole day through.
I turn the keys, and you're fast asleep,
So I say sweet dreams to you.
This overtime gets under skin.
Got holes in more than clothes.
Will I ever see you again?
Or is this how it goes?
Oh Lord, life can by mean.
What's the point of sleeping if we're missing all our dreams?
You give me sweet dreams, my love.
The whole day through.
I rush home and you're sleeping alone,
So I say sweet dreams to you.
You give me sweet dreams, my love.
The whole day through.
I turn the keys, and you're fast asleep,
So I say sweet dreams to you.
