Sweet Dream - John Hiatt, Jerry Douglas

Eating honey from the Catskills

And I thought about you

Haven’t been in that neck of the woods

Guess I’m long overdue

Getting hard to leave this hollow

My family’s been two hundred years

Oh, but let me go a little while

Until this sweet dream disappears

I was up on Bear mountain

Hitchhiking in the dark

Not a headlight for hours

Things were looking pretty stark

Now I think about that starry night

And my eyes well up with tears

Oh let me cry a little while

Until this sweet dream disappears

Got a ride with a shoe salesman

He said I never come this way

Every since they built the new road

Don’t know why I did today

Getting harder to travel

It gets harder every year

But it only takes a little while

Until this sweet dream disappears
