[length: 04:13]
[00:09.01]Long, long ago, where the tall grass grows
[00:17.12]And the still air is sweet with summer flowers;
[00:26.22]In the shade by the stream I would lie awake and dream,
[00:35.20]And in dreaming I would while away the hours.
[00:44.39]Long, long gone yesterday,
[00:52.46]And the castle and the prince and the God to whom I prayed.
[01:01.56]Well, I made, and I’m gonna lie in this bed of roses.
[01:10.54]I’m tired of trying to be free.
[01:19.61]Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.
[01:27.77]Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
[01:42.21]Well, I wasted years,
[01:46.72]All the useless, bitter tears.
[01:51.24]If I’d known I’d have stopped it at the start.
[01:59.34]I knew life was long,
[02:03.91]And I knew life could go wrong,
[02:08.45]But I never knew my life would break my heart.
[02:17.49]Dreams die harder than pride.
[02:26.53]I have learned my lesson well.
[02:39.16]I will put them both aside.
[02:41.05]’Cause I made and I’m gonna lie in this bed of roses.
[02:43.79]I’m tired and I’m dying to be free.
[02:53.62]Gonna lay down like a sigh in my bed of roses.
[03:00.86]Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
[03:11.77]Roses die, and all the fairy tales are lies,
[03:19.85]And I guess that’s just too bad for poor old me.
[03:28.96]’Cause I made, and I’m gonna lie in my bed of roses.
[03:37.00]Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
[03:46.17]Bed of roses I believed my life would be.
