ALWAYS

This romeo is bleeding. 
But you can't see his blood. 
It's nothing but some feelings 
That this old dog kicked up. 

It's been raining since you left me 
Now I'm drowning in the flood. 
You see I've always been a fighter 
But without you I give up. 

Now I can't sing a love song 
Like the way it's meant to be. 
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore 
But baby, that's just me. 

And I will love you, baby - Always 
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always 
I'll be there till the stars don't shine. 
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme. 
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind 
And I'll love you - Always. 

Now your pictures that you left behind 
Are just memories of a different life 
Some that made us laugh, some that made us cry 
One that made you have to say goodbye 
What I'd give to run my fingers through your hair 
To touch your lips, to hold you near. 
When you say your prayers try to understand 
I've made mistakes, I'm just a man. 

When he holds you close, when he pulls you near 
When he says the words you've been needing to hear 
I'll wish I was him 'cause those words are mine 
To say to you till the end of time. 

Yeah, I will love you baby - Always 
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always. 

If you told me to cry for you. 
I could If you told me to die for you I would. 
Take a look at my face 
There's no price I won't pay 
To say these words to you. 

Well, there ain't no luck In these loaded dice. 
But baby if you give me just one more try 
We can pack up our old dreams. 
And our old lives 
We'll find a place where the sun still shines. 

And I will love you, baby - Always 
And I'll be there forever and a day - Always 
I'll be there till the stars don't shine 
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme. 
And I know when I die, you'll be on my mind 
And I'll love you - Always 
  


BED OF ROSES

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano. 
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning 
I don't know. 
'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head. 
And some blond gave me nightmares 
I think she's still in my bed. 
As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead. 

With an ironclad fist I wake up and 
French kiss the morning. 
While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head 
While we're talking. 
About all of the things that I long to believe 
About love and the truth and what you mean to me 
And the truth is baby you're all that I need. 

I want to lay you on a bed of roses 
For tonighte I sleep on a bed on nails 
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is. 
And lay you down on bed of roses 

Well I'm so far away. 
That each step that I take is on my way home 
A king's ransom in dimes 
I'd given each night. 
Just to see through this payphone 
Still I run out of time. 
Or it's hard to get through 
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you 
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,baby blind love is true. 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses. 
For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails 
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is. 
And lay you down on bed of roses. 

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry. 
The barkeeper's wig's crooked 
And she's giving me the eye. 
I might have said yeah 
But I laughed so hard I think I died. 

When you close your eyes 
Know I'll be thinking about you. 
While my mistress she calls me 
To stand in her spotlight again. 
Tonight I won't be alone. 
But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely 
I've got nothing to prove. 
For it's you that I'd die to defend. 

I want to lay you down on a bed of roses. 
For tonite I sleep on a bed on nails 
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is. 
And lay you down on bed of roses.
