Eric Andersen - Come To My Bedside, My Darlin' lyrics

[Chorus] Come to my bedside, my darlin' Come over here and close the door Won't you lay your body soft and close beside me And drop your petticoat upon the floor? [Verse 1] Well, I've waited for you such a long time I've tried to grow and be a better man And you knew your love has made one poor heart wealthy Though my clothes may lay tattered in your hand And your breast has told my ear life's golden secrets Your back has shown my fingers endless rows And your lips have whispered wisdom that is timeless About life and d**h and things I never knowed [Chorus] So come to my bedside, my darlin' Come over here and close the door Won't you lay your body soft and close beside me And drop your petticoat upon the floor? [Verse 2] Your eyes are bluer than the mountain waters Your hair is flowing dark and flowing long And your skin has more gold than a morning sunrise Yes, it is softer than the breeze of a summer dawn And I miss you with every pa**ing sunset I plant a plant on every new day born No, no, words cannot describe one thing I'm sure of That it's in my loving arms that you belong [Chorus] So come to my bedside, my darlin' Come over here and close the door Won't you lay your body soft and close beside me And drop your petticoat upon the floor?
