I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain, what I thought I knew.
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping, any dream will do.

I wore my coat, with golden lining
Bright colours shining, wonderful and new.
And in the East, the dawn was breaking
The world was waking, any dream will do.

A crash of drums, a flash of light
My golden coat, flew out of sight
The colours faded into darkness, I was left alone.

May I return, to the beginning
The light is dimming, and the dream is too.
The world and I, we are still waiting
Still hesitating, any dream will do.
