Bed Is for Sleeping
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Bed is for sleeping
Love is for making
And you know, love, I am yours for the taking
My eyes are for seeing
The wind is for blowing
And you see, love, I am yours for the knowing
And night is for dreaming
Sleep is for bedding
I will dream with you the night of our wedding
You have a splinter
And I have a thimble
I will pull it in with movements so nimble
And tears are for falling
Smiles are for breaking
Houses for burning and kisses for faking
And where are you going ?
And why are you leaving ?
Left on a walkway to swallow my grieving
