"Home Dream" lyrics

Eric Burdon & War Lyrics

"Home Dream"

Ooh yeah

Somethin' pretty bad
Has got a hold on me
Somethin' pretty bad, people
Has got a hold on me

At night, I just can't sleep
I can't even close my eyes
I just lay awake and think, people
'Bout that place, way across the sea

Oh I just lay awake and dream, people
About that place, way across the sea, oh yeah
Where I was raised, where I was born
Place that means so much to me

Well, I dreamed I saw the city, baby
With its castles as old as time
I held hands with my baby, yes
I could hardly keep from crying

Something pretty bad
Has got a hold on me
Got a hold on me
I just dream and dream and dream and hope and pray
'Bout that place way across the sea

Well, it means so much to me

Oh yeah tell 'em
Yeah, all right
Oh you'll get there, I know

So I'll just lay down in this gutter, baby
And ease my spinnin' head
Well, I'll just lay down in this gutter, people
And ease my spinnin' head
I've got to have someone to ease the pain, baby
Please help me to my bed, yeah, yeah

You know somethin' pretty bad
I believe, has got a hold on me, yeah
I said somethin' pretty bad
I know, has got a grip on me
I just dream and dream and dream
'Bout my home way across the sea

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm comin' home
