Back to Bed

I’ll scream

And I’ll scream

But no one is

Coming,

Trudge to me

Through the snow,

But keep the car

Running,

I’ll do what I please

In the heat of the night,

Don’t be scared in waking hours

Of what you may find

After the chill of the morning

Has swept down the street

Take this as a warning,

The feeling won’t keep,

I hope you won’t mind

If I soak through my sorrows,

I’ll slip out of your bed

Bright and early tomorrow,

Don’t be surprised

When you wake up alone,

You don’t need to

Be scared

There's no need

To phone.

Everything is alright,

It’s the way things must be,

I will trudge to the car

While you are asleep,

If I keep running north

The snow will keep,

You’ll forget my perfume,

Put it out of your head,

I was all just a dream,

Please,

Go back to bed.
