My Own Sweet Bed Tonight

While I'd like a glass of whiskey,

It will not change my mind.

So if it's offered for that reason,

Or if you're just being kind.

I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,

I won`t try to explain.

I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,

It`s much too hard, to explain.

So take some comfort in that whiskey,

It`s often been my friend,

And if it warms a lonely body,

Well who`s to say it`s bad.

I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,

I won`t try to explain.

I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,

It`s much too hard, to explain.

If kindness takes a little longer

It`s worth the extra time,

Some have lives so long in darkness,

They don`t even recognise the light.

Understand, there`s a child in everyone,

We should watch what we say.

Everyone has their battles and their pain,

Hidden somewhere away.

I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,

I won`t try to explain.

I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,

It`s much too hard, to explain.
