Bed of Roses Lyrics by Ruhan du Toit

100 Duisend Perde

0

[Verse 1]
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 blonde 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 and the truth, what you bring to me
And thе truth is, baby you're all that I need
[Chorus]
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bеd of nails
Oh, I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
[Verse 2]
And I'm so far away, each step that I take on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I give each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
'til the bird on the wire puts me back to you
And I'll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby, our love is true
[Chorus]
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh, I want to be just as close as
The Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
[Verse 3]
Well, this hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
And I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Oh, yeah
[Verse 4]
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 won't mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove but it's you that I'd die to defend
[Chorus]
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
[Chorus, repeat x2]
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
Oh, I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
