Lyrics
- So you wake up in the morning and you try to feel all right
- Good night, sweet dreams, good night
- And there's no-one left to love you and no-one to hold you tight
- Good night, sweet dreams, good night
- And you watch your dreams drift by and sail forever out of sight
- Good night, sweet dreams, good night
- And the ones that you have left will never ever come out right
- Good night, sweet dreams, good night
- The idle thoughts you ponder in the evening
- Become monsters who eat your soul up in one bite
With ghosts to keep you company, you wait for morning's lightGood night, sweet dreams, good night- But there's no-one left to love you and no-one to hold you tight
- Good night, sweet dreams, good night
Recording Notes
The arpeggiated guitar chord sequence which starts and ends this was something I noodled up (using a cheap mic) back in, uh, not sure. Probably somewhere between 1984 and 1991. It sat on a cassette for the next two decades until one day the verses came to me (apparently in January of 2008). I don't think that I connected them at first, but it certainly wasn't more than a few days before I realized that the verses worked with that particular guitar riff.
The lines crossed out in the lyrics are just because when I recorded the guitar parts, what I recorded ended up not having room for those two lines. I thought about doing some quick copy-and-paste to make room for them, but decided that it sounded natural without them and that their absence wasn't a tragic loss.
