desde 1991 que esta grande canção de daniel lanois se tornou uma das da minha vida.
inesperada e escondida na banda sonora de um filme de wim wenders, por vezes dou por mim - ainda hoje - a trauteá-la.

I thought of you in blue and red

I thought of you where you were playing

I thought of you in my bed

You were there bound and chained

I thought of you there next to me

Wearing your pretty face

I thought of everything you could be

Sleeping in the devil's bed

I looked for you when lights were low

And I payed for what I had

I looked for you way down below

Till I felt I was going mad

I think of you and I tell myself

And the fever rises high

I think of you and I get what’s coming

Sleeping in the devil's bed

Oh why why why why, baby why?

Oh why why why why why why, baby why?

I thought of you up there on the ladder

I thought of you when I heard the news

I thought of you when it didn't matter

If I accepted or refused

I warned you when I wanted more

I wanted everything

I wanted what I couldn't give

Sleeping in the devil's bed

I woke up in the steady rain

I woke up when you said

It's late and I'm feeling heavy

Could you hold my aching head

I found myself tangled in wire

I found you there in my dreams

I found you in desire

You had left the devil's bed
