	the bed at night is a liferaft

	and pray that god knows why
         C                 G
	drifting somewhere in the black
         F                        G
	feeling (low?) 'neath the blanket
                C             G

            F               G
	the mistress of the sheets

	a throne off which you can (?) from
                  D                   G
	i hang my hands and feet over the sides
            D                             G        D
	and pray to the space of what can never be known
