Cafe Society

Not the song by The Band, but the one whose lyrics start with:

I’ve been walkin’ in my sleep
Countin’ troubles, instead of sheep

Thanks!

Kate Wolf.

Thank you. I couldn’t figure out if it was her or Nanci Griffith.

Bonus question:

Who sings the definitive version?

Or is that even a valid question?

I’ve never heard the song, I simply Googled the lyrics you posted.

This was the first hit, from there I Googled Kate Wolf (the name in parentheses) which led to her website.

Google really is your friend.

I like Kate Wolf’s version and Nanci Griffith’s. Both really good. I like both these artists a lot. Kate Wolf wrote a lot of beautiful songs before cancer got her. damn cancer.
