Well I been up to the mountain

Seen the ashes down below

I had breakfast with the wiseman

He told me what he thought I should know

And I've been to bed with Jezabel

And I found the well as deep

And I'd trade in my ambitions

For a warmer place to sleep



Well I've seen the heart of darkness

Read the writing on the wall

And the voice out in the desert

Was the voice out in the hall

And once he called me Abel

And once he called me Cain

And for forty days and for forty nights

I slept out in the rain



CHORUS:

Girl can you share your warm bed tonight

I need to find a safe retreat

Someplace where they can't see my eyes

I need to find a warmer place to sleep



Well I rested in the devils arms

I've chased the hounds of hell

I played truth or dare with the angels

And as I fall as I can tell

That a heart of gold ain't no better

Than a heart torn from the street

And I'd trade in my heart of stone

For a warmer place to sleep



CHORUS:

Girl can you share your warm bed tonight

I need to find a safe retreat

Someplace where they can't see my eyes

I need to find a warmer place to sleep
