Foldaway Bed Suzan Stroud
Verse 1
You can’t see my soft side
You’ve just got the wall
Pull the handle
Watch me open and fall
Verse 2
I watch you touch me
You watch me yourself
I watch you find
Something I’ve never felt
Tr. Bridge
My lips stop kissing words
My hands stop holding keys
I’ve got nothing left
You can’t already see
Chorus
I’m nothing but a foldaway bed
I’m nothing showing or nothing hid
I’m nothing but a foldaway bed
I’m a place to lay your head
Or your hand
Or any pleasure I can stand
Verse 3
I can’t see your soft side
I’ve just got the wall
But it seems a little late
For me to fold up now
Tr Bridge
My lips stop kissing words
My hands stop holding keys
I’ve got nothing left
You can’t already see
Chorus
I’m nothing but a foldaway bed
I’m nothing showing or nothing hid
I’m nothing but a foldaway bed
I’m a place to lay your head
Or your hand
Or any pleasure I can stand
Bridge
I’m confused by my house ware heritage
When my shoulders fold inward
Like the card table legs in the basement by the baby carriage
Shivers shake through me and I’m somewhere
I could never take me
Chorus
I’m nothing but a foldaway bed
I’m nothing showing or nothing hid
I’m nothing but a foldaway bed
I’m a place to lay your head
Or your hand
Or any pleasure I can stand
Chorus
I’m nothing but a foldaway bed
I’m nothing showing or nothing hid
I’m nothing but a foldaway bed
I’m a place to lay your head
Or your hand
Or any pleasure I can stand
