Bedside Companions - Rupert Holmes

Can I walk beside you for a while?

There’s a café down the road another mile

We can talk until we get there

You can get your throat so wet there

That you’ll thank the day you walked with me a while

Can I take that weight from off your arm?

If my hands are full, I can’t do you no harm

You can always change direction

But I hope there’s no objection

If I say I’d like to rest with you a while

Bedside companions at a roadside inn

Nothing much to lose and neither one is out to win

Bedside companions for the night at least

One is heading nowhere

One is heading east

Now we’re back upon the road again

I had planned to take my leave around the bend

But my feet refuse to function

And we’re standing by a junctionside hotel

Bedside companions at a roadside inn

Only love to give away, but love is not a sin

Travelling companions with a road to share

Wait until we get there

Wait until we get there

Wait until, wait until

Maybe we’ll get to God knows where
