Cotton Wool Love Thief Slam

I took a pen to bed with me 1 night That only i could tell To comfort all my nightmares away You see i passed my exams By counting the wool on sheep And woke up in another street With only your face for cover 6 feet under blossoming flower Winter had passed and gone Hibernating in a soil coffin Death has taught me patience For love is just a cowboy Searching for a horse To fit his saddle And shelter one from the rain So baby ill ride the Plaines If that's what you want me too And I'll carve you name Into every tree i cross Until i come across a pen To take to my bed And clear the cotton wool from my head Then I'll build you a shed For niceties in to keep With roses for window's And a milking stool on which to sit And I'll love you as much As this prison you can take So let your hair down my queen And start plotting your escape Until the leaves can't breath And the tree's are felled To make a stake to drive through my heart Till death do us part
