Tired Heart

© 2004 Nancy K. Dillon

1) I made this bed
This is where I sleep
Sit 'n' watch the sun go down
The silence sounds so deep

2) I made this bed
In my innocence
I'm staring at the blurring lines
Of a book that makes no sense

CHORUS:
I never thought this room could be so lonely
I never dreamed our laughter would depart
I never felt my body seem so hollow
So as the stars rise up
I'll drain this cup
And quietly tuck in this tired heart

BRIDGE:
So if I reach for you tonight
Would you turn to me or just keep right on
Livin' in your house of stone?
Safe from the danger zone?

3) I made this bed
It's mine and mine alone
I've never had time for despair
But I hear it's darkest tones

4) I made this bed
In my innocence
I'm staring at the blurring lines
Of a book that makes no sense

CHORUS
