When I Was Bed

Oooh, when I was bed

Before she spread lilacs on the sheetsPerfumed 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 cheekOooh, I was bed

Before she spread lilacs on the sheetsThe 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 tearsOooh, I was bed

Before she spread lilacs on the sheetsOooh, when I was bed

When I was bed
