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

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
