Lyrics Marc Cohn – Burning Bed
Text:
The wind is blowing all around the city
I keep replaying every word you said
The world is freezing cold
I need you here to hold
Tonight I wanna lay down in a burning bed
I smell your scent in every room and doorway
Now I know exactly where your trail has led
The weather’s heading south
I can almost taste your mouth
Tonight I wanna lay down in a burning bed
Ever since I held you close beside me
I’m stumbling where angels fear to tread
I’m falling in the fire
And the flames are getting higher
Tonight I wanna lay down in your burning bed
I don’t know what it is I came to give you
I’m haunted by the living and the dead
If I lay down here with you
Could we both rise up anew
Rise up from the ashes of a burning bed
Rise up from the ashes of a burning bed
