Come Back To Bed

Come Back To Bed (demo, version 1) - MP3

Lyrics

since you left me i haven't been sleeping
i haven't slept a wink
i know i took it hard, darn near tore me apart
when you left but this ain't what you think

now you did what you did; you don't have to
apologize to me
i admit i've been lonely but i'm not the only
one you left behind don't you see

i'm doing fine now but the bed is broken-hearted
he can't believe you're never coming back
he keeps me up all night a-tossin' and a-turnin'
i tell you i ain't never seen a sadder sack

don't you know he won't let me roll over
out of respect for you
says he's saving your place
so i don't get much space
he's got both pillows over there, too

well he figures you've got to sleep somewhere
and hates to think that you're
resting your sugar beets
between some strangers' sheets
he can't go on like this anymore

i'm doing fine now but the bed is broken-hearted
his dignity is hanging by a thread
if you can find it in your mercy to forgive me
it'd mean the world to him if you'd come back to bed

Alternate Verse/Chorus

every night i work hard to forget you
i tire myself out
it takes great dedication
and determination
to get all those drinks in my mouth

i keep at it 'til i can't remember
my name or what i do
or the things that you said
then i crawl home to bed
but then he reminds me about you

i'm doing fine now but the bed is broken-hearted
he's been unbalanced since you went away
he keeps me up all night a-pitchin' and a-rollin'
i'm gettin' seasick every time i hit the hay
