Anne Haigis Bed Of Roses Lyrics

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
                                                    still lodged in my head
                                               And some blond gave me nightmares
                                               I think that he'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 and
                                                      what you mean to me
                                          And the truth is baby you're all that I need

                                            I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
                                              For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
                                        I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
                                                And lay you down on 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 given each night
                                               Just to see through this payphone
                                                      But I'm so far away
                                                  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,
                                                       blind love is true

                                            I want to lay you down on a bed of roses
                                              For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
                                        I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
                                                And lay you down on bed of roses

                                           The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
                                                 The barkeeper's wig's crooked
                                                  And she's giving me the eye
                                                     I might have said yeah
                                              But I laughed so hard I think I died

                                                    When you close your eyes
                                                Know I'll be thinking about you
                                                    When my mystery calls me
                                                To stand in this spotlight again
                                                    Tonite 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 want to lay you down on a bed of roses
                                              For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails
                                        I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
                                                And lay you down on bed of roses
