I Walked In My Sleep Last Night

I Walked In My Sleep Last Night

My second song from our excellent time in Franche Comté in the northern summer. Music written in France and lyrics on our return to Oz after I did a little somnambulation on our first night back in our own bed - hadn't done that in over 30 years. Lyrics are stream of consciousness about the trip and being home. Jan does the top harmony in the three part harmony bits.

Just got back from promised land
Doom in doorway blood on sand
Have to do the best I can
Just got back from promised land

Big white bird on 2 day flight
Twelve hours sleep might put me right
Airports get me feeling tight
Big white bird on 2 day flight
I walked in my sleep last night

I walked in my sleep last night

Hole in pillow dreamed too hard
Racked up fortune credit card
Jet lag, gulf stream, beggar, guard
Hole in pillow dreamed too hard 

Out the door in my sleep last night
In the dark you’re out of sight 
Mumbling fool done nothing right
Out the door in my sleep last night
Walked in my sleep last night

Walked in my sleep last night
