The Blues Is Just A Bad Dream Lyrics - Taylor James

James Taylor 

A tree grows in my back yard 

It only grows at night 

Its branches they're all twisted 

Its leaves are afraid of light 

They say the blues is just a bad dream 

They say it lives upside your head 

But when it's lonely in the morning 

You're bound to wish that you was lying dead 

There's winds out on the ocean 

They're blowing just as they choose 

But then winds ain't got no emotion, baby 

And they don't know the blues 

They say the blues is just a bad dream 

They say it lives upside your head 

But when it's lonely, lonely in the morning 

You're bound to wish that you was lying dead 

My mind is rambling and rambling 

Just like some rolling stone, no 

Since that nightmare's come to stay with me, baby 

My thoughts just don't belong 

They say the blues is just a bad dream 

They say it lives upside your head 

But when they visit you around midnight 

You're bound to wish that you were lying dead
