My Side Of The Bed

from Tightrope by Odgers and Simmonds

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    CD comes with 8 page booklet of lyrics. The cover artist is Jacob Phillips son of Sean Phillips who did the artwork for The Men They Couldn't Hang 'The Domino Club' album back in 1990 and then went on to work with DC and Marvel creating artwork for Batman, Spider Man and Marvel Zombies to name but a few. He has also done cover art for The Walking Dead. So, hopefully there are big things ahead for Jacob too.

lyrics

My Side of the Bed

I know every grain of cotton on the sheets beneath my head
I know every plain and prairie of the mattress on this bed
I know every little story the pillow here can tell
I know my side of the bed very well

There’s a silent wall between us when you turn out the light
So I watch the shadows flicker by the street lamp here at night
If I accidentally touch you, your body turns away
So I watch stars grow dimmer, hear things I can’t say

I wish that you’d come over to my side of the bed
I wish that you’d put down that book and hold me instead
Over on my side of the bed

Oh love hold on, oh love be strong
Keep the embers burning
Even low

There’s a tiny little leaving that wasn’t there before
There’s a little cigarette burn below me on the floor
And unless you’ve started smoking or dyed your brown hair red
Someone else is sleeping on my side of the bed
