Separate Beds Lyrics

Tonight I take her from her parents I came along to her rescue Without a word about arrangements She came along without a clue
So I said, "My love I want to take you A place I have inside my head" So it seemed, it seemed I had to love you With some caress and separate beds
Her mother didn't like me She thought I was on drugs My mother didn't like her She'd never peel the spuds
So we took off together And stayed at Mrs. Smith's Breakfast at half seven Where you can view the cliffs
The moon was full and in our window I could see her turning in her bed I was loved but all in limbo There was time to pass but not to spend
Soon I saw that this was silly Spending all my wages on this peach When we could sit, could sit so very pretty And get our heads down out on the beach
Her father seemed to like me I helped him fix his car My father seemed to like her And I couldn't see the harm
In going off together To see the pier and lights So we could be together In separate beds tonight
Separate beds Separate beds Separate beds
