Bed of Roses - 2015 Remaster

Lyrics

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 prayed.
 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.
