Hong Kong Bar Sittin' in a Hong Kong bar Sweet dreams of you darling Ah when we were sweet sixteen Mama makin' love in the belly of an old freight train Life was so simple and easy Oh the sun went down You took care of the chill darlin' One on one living on the track Then you felt like movin' away, Lord now you didn't stand and stare You felt like movin' and leavin' darlin' Didn't I treat you fair It's all right now darlin' It's alright now darlin' Cause things have gotta change Makin' love to you darlin' Was like moonlight on the shore Makin' love to you darlin' Was like the tide clawing at the shore And when I dream about you darlin' Lord I long to be the sand I need those sweet dreams of you mama That's the only thing this poor little man can be tonight I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night Remember the house we were going to build On the far side of the hill Whatever happened to those dreams of me mama Don't dreamers ever win But darlin' when I think about you Honey Lord I shed some tears Got my pillows wrapped between my legs And I think I love you every day It's all right now mama It's alright now mama It's all right now darlin' It's alright now mama It's alright now mama Sittin' in a Hong Kong Bar Dreamin' about the way things used to be Ah when I first made love to you darlin' Back riding in the belly of an old freight train Then you felt like moving And I paid your fare home Then you felt like leaving You could not stand and stay It's alright now mama It's alright It's alright It's alright It's alright I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night I found somebody else mama gonna help me get my rest at night Tim Buckley/Joe Falsia Tim Buckley Music ASCAP/Far Out Music ASCAP Released 1972 Straight/Warner Brothers - “Greetings from LA" Running time 7:07
