As a kid I would visit
The home of the king
Rock and roll fantasies and dreams
Start to take hold
Follow me down the road

I imagined it different than this
Long nights in long cars, lonely bliss
If only but it don't exist for long

Before the cold blue dawn
Got to go take care of you own
Before your time is come
Here today, gone tomorrow
All my love
On the wings of the snow-white dove
You couldn't make it up
A father's love, a mother's long-distance call

Far and wide it reaches
Beaches and streams
Ending the night with peaches and cream
Don't you ever sleep, she screams to me
I'll never forget her as long as I live
She wanted more that I could give
I got me to get along with

Before the cold blue dawn
Got to go take care of you own
Before your time is come
Here today, gone tomorrow
All my love
On the wings of the snow-white dove
You couldn't make it up
A father's love, a mother's long-distance call
Long distance

I imagined it different than this
Long nights in long cars lonely bliss
If only but it don't exist

Before the cold blue dawn
Got to go take care of you own
Before your time is come
Here today, gone tomorrow
All my love
On the wings of the snow-white dove
You couldn't make it up
A father's love, a mother's long-distance call

Cold blue dawn
