Fantastic Dreamer

去年回台灣的時候，在清空我以前的房間時，找到了一些很久以前錄給自己的Mixed Tape。回來之後就一直忙著其他的事就忘記要來整理那五大箱從台灣寄來的東西。

這幾天要去遠行，突然想到就把這幾卷錄音帶找出來，在車上放著聽。

神奇的是，錄音帶的品質並沒有變的很糟。於是一面開車時，一面時光倒流的回到那20出頭的年代。

原本遙遠的路，竟然因為聽著這些錄音帶而讓我捨不得下車。

其中一卷的最後一首是這首Bed of Roses 。回到辦公室找到當年的MV。再看當年那年輕的Bon Jovi。原來，歲月就是這樣被我們給渡過的了。
Bed Of Roses

Sitting here wasted and wounded
At this old piano
Trying hard to capture
The moment this morning I don't know
'Cause a bottle of vodka
Is still lodged in my head
And some blonde gave me nightmares
I think that she's still in my bed
As I dream about movies
They won't make of me when I'm dead

With an ironclad fist I wake up and
French kiss the morning
While some marching band keeps
Its own beat in my head
While we're talking
About all of the things that I long to believe
About love and the truth and
What you mean to me
And the truth is baby you're all that I need

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses

The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry
The barkeeper's wig's crooked
And she's giving me the eye
I might have said yeah
But I laughed so hard I think I died

Now as you close your eyes
Know I'll be thinking about you
While my mistress she calls me
To stand in her spotlight again
Tonite I won't be alone
But you know that don't
Mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove
For it's you that I'd die to defend

I want to lay you down in a bed of roses
For tonite I sleep on a bed of nails
I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is
And lay you down on a bed of roses
