Whistling through the summer School can whistle for my return I've got plans and I've got schemes To live and I've got love to burn 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 Rocking, rolling, riding We fell down the stairs Found a note in her picture book The deathbed of despair Where's my girl? Where did she go? I could not foresee Seems so in the distance now The deathbed of my dreams 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 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 My wife she comes and holds me near She looks at me and beams I close my eyes and I reprise The deathbed of my dreams 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
