Come To My Bedside

Eric Andersen


Come to my bedside my darling
Come over here, 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 rows
Your lips have whispeted wisdom that is timeless
About life and death and things I never knowed

So come to my bedside my darling
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 flowing dark, flowing long
Your skin has more gold than the morning sunrise
It is softer than the breeze of a summer's dawn

I miss you more with every passing sunset
I plan a plan on every new day born
Words cannot describe one thing I'm sure of
And its in my loving arms where you belong

So come to my bedside my darling
Come over here, close the door
Lay your body soft and close beside me
And drop your petticoat upon the floor
