My Own Sweet Bed Tonight

While Id like a glass of whiskey,
It will not change my mind.
So if its offered for that reason,
Or if youre just being kind.
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,
I wont try to explain.
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight,
Its much too hard, to explain.
So take some comfort in that whiskey,
Its often been my friend,
And if it warms a lonely body,
Well whos to say its bad.
Repeat chorus
If kindness takes a little longer
Its worth the extra time,
Some have lives so long in darkness,
They dont even recognise the light.
Understand, theres a child in everyone,
We should watch what we say.
Everyone has their battles and their pain,
Hidden somewhere away.
Repeat chorus
