Oooo yea.
Somethinâ pretty bad,
Has got a hold on me.
Somethinâ pretty bad, people,
Has got a hold on me.
At night, I just canât sleep,
I canât even close my eyes.
I just lay awake and think, people,
âBout that place, way across the sea.
Oh I just lay awake and dream, people,
About that place, way across the sea, oh yea.
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,
âBout that place way across the sea,
Well, it means so much to me.
Oh yea tell âem.
Yea, all right.
Oh youâll get there, I know.
So Iâll just lay down in this gutter, baby,
And ease my spinninâ head.
Well, Iâll just lay down in this gutter, people,
And ease my spinninâ head.
Iâve got to have someone to ease the pain, baby,
Please help me to my bed. Yea, yea.
You know somethinâ pretty bad,
I believe, has got a hold on me, Yea.
I said somethinâ pretty bad,
I know, has got a grip on me.
I just dream and dream and dream,
âBout my home way across the sea.
Yea, yea, yea, yea,
Iâm cominâ home.
