Come To My Bedside - Eric Andersen

Come to my bedside, my darlin'

Come over here and close the door

Lay your body soft and close beside me

And drop your petticoat upon the floor

I waited for you, oh, such a long time

I tried to grow and be a better man

Then you knew your love has made one poor heart wealthy

Though my clothes may lay tattered in your hand

Your breast has told my ear life’s golden secrets

Your back has shown my fingers endless roads

Your lips have whispered wisdom that is timeless

'Bout life and death and things I’ve never known

Come to my bedside, my darlin'

Come over here, close the door

Lay your body soft and close beside me

And drop your petticoat upon the floor

Your eyes are bluer than the mountain water

Your hair is flowin' dark, flowin' long

Your skin has more gold than a mornin' sunrise

It is softer than the breeze of a summer’s dawn

I miss you more with ev’ry passin' sunset

I plan a plan on every new day born

Words cannot describe one thing I’m sure of

That it’s in my lovin' arms where you belong

So come to my bedside, my darlin'

Come over here and close the door

Lay your body soft and close beside me

And drop your petticoat upon the floor
