I awake by a long lonely highway with visions of death all around
And my memory goes back to last summer to a town and a girl I had found
Through the mist I can see her now walking...
In a meadow made green by the rain...
And I see the good times that we had there..
And the heartache the misery and pain...
Yes to me that last summer was heaven...
For I thought I had made her my own...
But I woke on a grey rainy morning to find that my lover had flown..
I remember all this very clearly and I think of the fool I have been
And I ask myself was it all worth it...
All this heartache and hurt for a dream?
The white mist is now settling around me..
And I suddenly feel very old..
Soon this sad heart of mine will stop beating..
And no longer I'll notice the cold...
Soon I'll sleep by a long lonely highway..
With visions of peace all around..
Where the Angels are waiting to greet me...
And my kingdom at last I have found...
By a stream near a long lonely highway..
By a meadow a quiet peaceful scene...
In a crumpled up wreck on the floor of a gorge..
The dreamer has dreamed his LAST DREAM.
