Bed Of Roses
By Bon Jovi, from the CD: Keep The Faith
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's
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 iron clad 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...
And what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby you're all that I need

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

Well I'm so far away
Each step that I takes 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 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

Well this hotel bar's hangover-whiskey's gone dry
The bar keepers wigs crooked
And shes giving me the eye
Well I might've said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

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 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...

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
