albin lee meldau - bed of roses (the quarantine sessions) lyrics

[verse 1]
sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
trying hard to capture the moment this morning i don’t know
’cause this 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, the truth, what you mean to me
and the truth is, baby, you’re all that i need

[chorus]
i wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight i sleep on a bed of nails
oh, i wanna be just as close as the holy ghost is
and lay you down in a bed of roses

[verse 2]
well i’m so far away, each step that i take is on my way home
a king’s ransom in dimes, given 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 to you
i’ll just close my eyes, baby, blind love is true
[chorus]
i wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight i 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

[verse 3]
well this hotel bar hangover whiskey’s gone dry
the barkeeper’s wig’s crooked as she’s giving me the eye
i might have said yeah
but i laughed so hard i think i died

[instrumental]

[verse 4]
now as you close your eyes, know i’ll be thinking ’bout you
while my mistress she calls me to stand in her spotlight again
tonight i won’t be alone but know that don’t mean i’m not lonely
i’ve got nothing to prove ’cause it’s you that i’d die to defend

[chorus]
i wanna lay you down in a bed of roses
for tonight i 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
lay you down on a bed of roses
