My Own Sweet Bed Tonight lyrics

Lyrics

While I'd like a glass of whiskey
It will not change my mind
So if it's offered for that reason
Or if you're just being kind

Chorus

I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
I won't try to explain
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
It's much too hard, to explain

So take some comfort in that whiskey
It's often been my friend
And if it warms a lonely body
Well who's to say it's bad

Repeat chorus

If kindness takes a little longer
It's worth the extra time
Some have lives so long in darkness
They don't even recognise the light
Understand, there's a child in everyone
We should watch what we say
Everyone has their battles and their pain
Hidden somewhere away

Repeat chorus
