Roll Away Bed
Love's Refuge: Gracie's Rollaway Bed Chronicles
Lyrics
Wake up Gracie
Addressing someone named Gracie to wake up.
You're stealing the covers again
Noticing Gracie is taking up the bed covers.
Its 4 in the morning
It's 4 o'clock in the morning.
Decembers outside creeping in
December's cold weather is seeping in from outside.
Now 1000 times over I love you
Expressing love for Gracie, reiterated many times.
1001 now its said
Confirming love for Gracie, now stated 1001 times.
But if I want to sleep Ive got to find you
Wanting to sleep but needing to locate Gracie.
Your very own rollaway bed
Referring to Gracie's separate rollaway bed, implying the need for space during sleep.
Now I'm a night person
Describing oneself as someone who is active during the night.
Come home late from playing the bars
Returning home late after playing at bars.
You're tossing and turning
Gracie is restless, tossing and turning in bed.
Spinning like Saturn and Mars
Metaphorically spinning around like planets Saturn and Mars.
At 8 in the morning you wake me
Gracie wakes the speaker up at 8 am with coffee, jam, and bread.
With your coffee, your jam, and your bread
Suggesting Gracie would be less likely to accidentally burn the speaker in her own separate bed.
You'd be less likely to burn me
Highlighting the safety of being apart in separate beds.
In your very own rollaway bed
Referencing Gracie's separate bed again.
Saturday we wake up
Depicting a scene waking up on a Saturday, searching for a bed.
Were driving round town
Driving around town trying to find the perfect bed.
Trying to find the perfect bed
Gracie falls onto a mattress while shopping for a bed.
You fall on the mattress
Gracie collapses like an actress, causing embarrassment to salesmen.
You faint like an actress
Salesmen react to Gracie's actions with blushing or embarrassment.
The salesmen are all turning red
Move over Gracie
Asking Gracie to make space in her separate bed.
I cant face sleeping alone
Expressing discomfort in sleeping alone.
Without all that tossin'
Without Gracie's tossing and turning, the place doesn't feel like home.
It don't even feel like Im home
Missing the familiarity of Gracie's movements during sleep.
Now 1000 times over I love you
Reiterating love for Gracie, now said 1002 times.
1002 now its said
Continuing to express deep affection for Gracie.
Baby I don't mean to wake you
Politely asking if there's room in Gracie's rollaway bed.
But is there room in the rollaway bed?
Seeking a place to sleep, suggesting the desire to be close despite separate beds.
