Bottomless

Long, long ago, where the tall grass grows

And the still air is sweet with summer flowers;

In the shade by the stream i would lie awake and dream,

And in dreaming i would while away the hours.



Long, long gone yesterday,

And the castle and the prince and the god to whom i pray.

Well, i made, and i'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.

I'm tired of trying to be free.

Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.

Bed of roses i believed my life would be.



Well, i wasted years,

All the useless, bitter tears.

If i'd known i'd have stopped it at the start.

I knew life was long,

And i knew life could go wrong,

But i never knew my life would break my heart.



Dreams die harder than pride.

I have learned my lesson well.

I will put them both aside.

'cause i made and i'm gonna lie in this bed of roses.

I'm tired and i'm dying to be free.

Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.

Bed of roses i believed my life would be.



Roses die, and all the fairy tales are lies,

And i guess that's just too bad for poor old me.

'cause i made, and i'm gonna lie in my bed of roses.

Bed of roses i believed my life would be.

Bed of roses i believed my life would be.
