Song 5: My Narrow Bed lyrics
by Lindsay Mendez
Sasha, I still remember our first night together:
My narrow bed
Two human bodies
Closely pressed together
As in a dream
Sweet words in my ear
Soft Russian lullabies
Oh, your trembling, shy hands
Hungrily, I reached for you
In the morning while you slept
I watched your sweet face
Deep love for you
Welled up in my heart
Our lives linked for all time
A boy who could be so hard
Whose touch was so tender
I pressed my lips
To your thick hair
And then I, too, fell asleep
