Bottomless — текст песни (Bette Midler)

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 Im gonna lie in this bed of roses.

Im 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 Id known Id 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 Im gonna lie in this bed of roses.

Im tired and Im 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 thats just too bad for poor old me.

cause I made, and Im 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.
