Songtext von When I Was Bed

Oh, when I was bed Before she spread lilacs on the sheets Perfumed his hair with white powders Removed the bitter taste left on his cheek Perfumed his hair with white powders Removed the bitter taste left on his cheek Oh, I was bed Before she spread lilacs on the sheets The antiquity of that one moment How filthy his shoes had been And how soon we forget the smell of survival Blanket it with roses and sick tears Oh, I was bed Before she spread lilacs on the sheets Oh, when I was bed When I was bed
