Bed Of Roses Lyrics by Bon Jovi Bon Jovi
Below, you will find the lyrics for Bed Of Roses by Bon Jovi.
Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment
This morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead
Verse 1
With an ironclad fist I wake up
And French kiss the morning
Verse 1
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth
And what you mean to me
And the truth is
Baby you're all that I need
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes
I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire
Flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper
Baby blind love is true
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
Where the hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died
Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonight I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely
I've got nothing to prove
It's for you that I'd die to defend
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down
I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonight I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down in a bed of roses
