[Verse: Ronnie Lane]
She said, I'll see you in the morning, darlin'
I'll see you when the kids have gone to school
Well I know tomorrow is your birthday
I know you know that you're an April fool

[Chorus]
We used to roam so freely
It's been so long
I take my dreams to bed now
Where they belong, long gone

[Verse]
She said, there's dust and cobwebs on your North Star
There's no more frost and campfires in your hair
I see your wheels, they're rustin' in the backyard
I know that we're not goin' anywhere

[Chorus]
We used to roam so freely
And it's been so long
I take my dreams to bed now
Where they belong, long gone
