Sweetheart In My Sheets   Year: 2002 | Run Time: 3:15

Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)

try not to walk the crooked mile
with a bent little heart near the old turnstile
charity is always in style
sweetheart in my sheets

nocturnal cadences diminished health
pull that bottle from the top shelf
i was only hoping to dream at least
sweetheart in my sheets

and the shutter falls and tells
the story you won't sell

my love for you is fanatical
with elements botanical
petals spread out underneath
sweetheart in my sheets

with a voice that's felt as much as heard
life at thirty three and a third
the scratch and hiss of ambience
sweetheart in my sheets

your sleepy eyes and your baby's breath
passion flower or the kiss of death
pour some blues and chase with grief
sweetheart in my sheets

Did You Know?

This was written around 2002 and was originally intended for inclusion on Perfumed Letter. Bill calls it "weird, obtuse, fleshy and a bit of a paean to love."
