Lyrics Bed Is For Sleeping - Matt Sweeney, Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Bed Is For Sleeping

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 thinking
And where are you going?
And why are you leaving?
Left on a walkway
To swallow my grieving
