The Devil's Bed

THE DEVIL'S BED - Written by Carroll Bryant

 

 

You can’t seem to comfort all my pain

Your tears pour down like a Mississippi rain

I can hear the hounds of hell call out

Never understanding your love or what it’s all about

 

I’m sleeping in the devils bed tonight

Trying  hard to get this feeling right

When I left you standing there I almost went out of my mind

Now I find I’m sleeping … in the devil’s bed tonight

 

I know I’m selfish and I get eaten up with pride

Can’t be persuaded by the helpless look in your eyes

I squeezed the breath right from your beating heart

Never understanding your love or how it even started

 

I’m sleeping in the devils bed tonight

Trying hard to get this feeling right

When I left you standing there I almost went out of my mind

Now I find I’m sleeping … in the devil’s bed tonight

 

I can see the lightning as it strikes across the sky

The thunder shakes my senses to the moment I might die

I look inside the diamond that hides behind your life

I can’t see a goddamn thing except memories that we both know have died

 

Our memories have died

 

You can’t seem to comfort all my pain

Your tears pour down like a Mississippi rain

I can hear the hounds of hell call out

Never understanding your love or what it’s all about

 

I’m sleeping in the devils bed tonight

Trying  hard to get this feeling right

When I left you standing there I almost went out of my mind

Now I find I’m sleeping … in the devil’s bed tonight
