The sun would shine upon my face If I could only slow this pace But I will not see the light today Things to do and bills to pay In my dreams I will sleep like a baby Brother is that your rifle there? And do you know the man In the middle of the crosshairs? No I do not know my Enemy's name So much easier to kill Him that way In my dreams I will sleep like a baby I will take the long way home I will take the long way home... The sap is rising in the trees And I will fall upon my knees 'Cause the songbird tells me as she sings Machines can not make sweeter dreams In my dreams I will sleep like a baby
