Bedsides - Sweet Jesus

black clouds cover my soul on a mattress on the floor

hard luck and raw deals sing me to sleep

while your bed sits in a frame like a photo of a day

back before all our glitter went to gray

you hard of hearing?

or hard of seeing?

the sweet smile of fortune has turned away from me

you hard of hearing?

or hard of feeling?

how long must i burn before i can scream?

i need some shoulder salvation — warm and through the night

not dust cloud ruination — cold and with no light

you walk out that door i say its gonna close just like a casket

and love — forget it all

you hard of hearing?

or hard of seeing?

my world fell apart and was pieced back by me

you hard of hearing?

or hard of seeing?

how much of my soul must i bare till you can see

there’s not more soul left to bare

you can stay on your side of the bed
