I see in your smile that your teeth they are cracking 
 I hear in your laugh all the weight that it’s lacking 
 feel in the crease of your shoulder 
 the winter grows older and I 
 I taste in your breath that is bitter as blood 
 smell the dirt of your soul that’s been dragged through the mud 
 you are dark and you’re moody 
 but I see your beauty and I 

 I will take you to my bed 
 darling, rest your weary head 
 bury deep beneath the covers 
 ever lovely, ever lover 
 you will always have these words 
 that I have said  [bad word] to bed my love  [bad word] to bed 

 I smooth back your hair and the lines of your face 
 press my hands on scars I cannot erase 
 melt the ice from your fingers 
 the pain that still lingers 
 and I 

 with clean and warm water I will wash your feet 
 I will tell you I love you on broken repeat 
 I’ll remind you to smile 
 we won’t talk for a while 
 and I 

 I will take you to my bed 
 close your eyes and breathe instead 
 bury deep beneath the sadness 
 ever anger, ever gladness 
 you will always have my body 
 and my bread  [bad word] to bed my love  [bad word] to bed 

 I see in your eyes that are solid as stone 
 I know that you think you are better alone 
 but the winter grows colder 
 we’re both getting older and I 

 I’ll be your story, a fish and a star, 
 light the pathway for when you forget who you are 
 let my love remind you 
 I’m here safe beside you and I 

 I will take you to my bed 
 baby, rest your wayward head 
 stay here with me til whenever 
 stay together, yours forever 
 it is here beneath the blanket we are wed 
 and you’ll always have these words that I have said  [bad word] to bed my love  [bad word] to bed
