My neighbors all see me stumblin home They can see there's somethin bloody bad wrong They hear me singin the wrong kind of song Just cause my bed's been empty too long My birds sing loud cause I told them all To get on the beam, to get on the ball And to bring you here, so I can lay my head And to warm up my old empty bed Just too empty… That empty bed of mine
This empty bed of mine is my worst curse It hurts you little, it hurts me worse It hurts the vine that climbs my poles But my empty bed hurts me the most I'm prayin and a-prayin, pretty soon your head Will come and put an end to my empty old bed If ya don't come soon, I'm apt to be dead Or just God's dead. My empty old bed Just too empty… That empty bed of mine
