Deathbed of My Dreams

[Verse 1]
Whistling through the summertime
School can whistle for my return
I've got plans and I've got schemes
To live and I've got love to burn
[Chorus 1]
The girl I've got, she laughs a lot
She asks me what I mean
I paint the perfect picture
The deathbed of my dreams
[Verse 2]
Rocking, rolling, riding
We fell down the stairs
Found a note in her picture book
The deathbed of despair
[Chorus 2]
Where's my girl, where did she go?
I could not foresee
Seems so in the distance now
The deathbed of my dreams
[Bridge]
To know what's right, to know what's real
Is simple if you're willing
To live and to die a man
Is just the same as living
[Verse 3]
The Autumn wind brings me no chill
I lean towards its warm embrace
The road it lies before us now
It runs beyond what's dealt by fate
[Chorus 3]
My wife comes and holds me near
She looks at me and beams
I close my eyes and I reprise
The deathbed of my dreams
