I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
I won't try to explain
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
Hidden somewhere away
It's often been my friend
Some have lives so long in darkness
'Cause everyone has their battles and their pain
I won't try to explain
I won't try to explain
And if it warms a lonely body
It's just too hard to explain
It's just too hard to explain
It's just too hard to explain
Or if you're just being kind
I won't try to explain
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
So take some comfort in your whiskey
So if it's offered for that reason
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
They don't even recognize the light
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
Understand, there's a child in everyone
We should watch what we say
And I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
If kindness takes a little longer
Well, who's to say it's bad
It's worth the extra time
It's much too hard to explain
