Sweet dreams come soon
Lyrics/Music: Rune Hauge
Late in the evening, the rain is pouring down
over this old town
Out of nowhere you hear the cats
fighting for their homes
In the dark a boy stands alone
Freezing to his bones
Nobody sees him, nobody knows him
He finds a dry spot somewhere in the dark
Picks up a piece of bread
That's all that he's got
Moves around trying to warm up his feet
Touching the lamp on the wall
for the feel of the heat
The moon is breaking through
Just another night on the street
He can't get no sleep
Watch those cat's eyes in the dark
dancing just like candles in the night
Hear how the wolves are howling at the moon
Sweet dreams please come soon
As the morning comes and the town wakes up
Got to move along before somebody calls the cops
Frozen fingers trying to roll a smoke
I say this, this is hard life
It sure ain't no joke
Tell me what has this poor kid done
Just another night on the street
He can't get no sleep
