Eleanor McEvoy — My Own Sweet Bed Tonight lyrics

Lyrics

While IЂ™d like a glass of whiskey
It will not change my mind.
So if itЂ™s offered for that reason
Or if youЂ™re just being kind.
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
I wonЂ™t try to explain.
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
ItЂ™s much too hardto explain.
So take some comfort in that whiskey
ItЂ™s often been my friend
And if it warms a lonely body
Well whoЂ™s to say itЂ™s bad.
Repeat chorus
If kindness takes a little longer
ItЂ™s worth the extra time
Some have lives so long in darkness
They donЂ™t even recognise the light.
UnderstandthereЂ™s a child in everyone
We should watch what we say.
Everyone has their battles and their pain
Hidden somewhere away.
Repeat chorus
