This Bed

This bed was made for you come on get in
I want your pretty hands upon my skin
You said it scares you when I kiss you tenderly
I can't help that what you want comes naturally
And I know you need some time inside your mind
I would hate to be a taker of your time
If you climb into this bed and then you find
That you have disappeared climb out again
Cos I will always think of you as my good friend
Yes I will
I will always think of you as my good friend

When the sun had laid down his red carpet and gone
I saw the evening star and how you shone
I navigated treacherous terrain
I climbed up next to you and felt no pain
And all around us blossomed other stars
They were other pairs of lovers stitching scars
And if you climb into this bed and then you find
that you have disappeared climb out again
Cos I will always think of you as my good friend
Yes I will
I will always think of you as my good friend

This bed was made for you come on get in
I wanna wrap you in my blankets and my limbs
And I know that you're still raw from the fire
And for all we know we're just a pair of liars
oh but does it matter here and now tonight?
The sun and moon and stars might have it right
they circle one another like ballet
And no one out there gets in each other's way
Yes and life is much too short to not be friends
But I want your pretty hands upon my skin
Please take this bed I made come on get in
This bed was made for you come on get in
And I will always think of you as my good friend
Yes I will
I will always think of you as my good friend
