"Cold Blue Dawn" lyrics

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 and long-cars lonely bliss
If only but it don't exist
For long
Before the cold blue dawn

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

Far and wide it reaches, reaches 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 than I could give
I got me to get along with
Before the cold blue dawn

Got to go. Take care of your own
Before your time is come
Here today, gone tomorrow
All my love
On the wings of a 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 and long-cars lonely bliss
If only but it don't exist
Before the cold blue dawn

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

Cold blue dawn
