Lyrics Sweet Dream - John Hiatt, Jerry Douglas

Sweet Dream

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
