The Bed Songtext
von Tom Jones

I wake from troubled sleep in the middle of the night
Reaching for the soft hand that once held mine so tight
My fingers touch the pillow where you once laid your head
And I run my hand down the cold, cold sheets on your side of the bed My head spins from the perfume that lingers every place
And I kiss the trace of lipstick left on your pillow case
And here in this nightmare of darkness I remember the day we wed
And I clutch and tear at the tear stained sheets on my side of the bed


My arms long to hold you, my lips hunger for your kiss
And I just couldn′t stand to go through another lonely night like this
These hands that once caressed you take a bottle from the drawer
It says take one for sleeping but I'm taking many more
What good is there in living when the dreams we shared are dead
So now at last I lay me down to sleep on your side of the bed
