Empty Bed (Io Me Ne Andrei) - Mick Ronson

Wake, reaching for yesterday

Up, washing the sleep away

My mind, thoughts of the games you play

All the time

I, roll up a cigarette

Sit down, trying hard to forget

Your face, when you turned and left me

Again

It’s not a game seeing your face on the wall

When it’s only in a frame

It’s not the same sleeping without you at night

Not knowing if I will again

Magic mirrors shine, memories of yesterday

When you wouldn’t go and you couldn’t stay

Deceitfully blind

To you wanting your way

Where will you go?

Where will you stay?

Where will you stay?

You wouldn’t say, you wouldn’t say

You’ve gone away

Can’t help feeling sad but then I’m glad you’ll realize your heartaches today

I see your eyes

Yes the eyes that used to shine with secret tears you know you always used to

cry

I’ll wait for tomorrow

Yes I’ll wait for tomorrow

Haven’t I told you?

Just want to hold you

You know that yesterday

You took my smallest part so carelessly away

Have all your memories gone suddenly to sleep?

Your golden head, the empty bed, the empty bed

And now there is another day

But where are you?

What can I do?

You once said ours is terrestrial love

Such a feeling left along with your case

It’s such a fight cause every window I pass

Keeps reflecting visions of your face

Like a spider’s web weaving me 'round and 'round again

Will it let go?

Can I clear my head?

There’s a thousand things, not only the empty bed

Why did you go?

Was it something I said?

Let me clear my head, was I misled?

I wish I was dead

You’ve gone away

Can’t help feeling sad but then I’m glad you’ll realize your heartaches today

I see your eyes

Yes the eyes that used to shine with secret tears you know you always used to

cry

I’ll wait for tomorrow

Yes I’ll wait for tomorrow

Haven’t I told you?

Just want to hold you

You know that yesterday

You took my smallest part so carelessly away

Have all your memories gone suddenly to sleep?

Your golden head, the empty bed, the empty bed

And now that you have gone away

But where are you?

What can I do?

My cigarette’s gone out

It’s late, there’s no one about

Guess I’ll try and put you right out

Of my mind
