Bed Of Roses歌词

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment
This morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head
And some blond gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead
With an ironclad fist I wake up
And French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things
That I long to believe
About love , the truth
What you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby, you're all that I need
I wanna lay you down
in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
Oh, I wanna be just as close
As the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I'm so far away
Each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby blind love is true
I wanna lay you down
in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close
As the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove for
It's you that I'd die to defend
I wanna lay you down
in a bed of roses
For tonight I'll sleep on a bed of nails
I wanna be just as close
As the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
