I close my eyes, threw back the curtain, To see for certain, what I thought I knew

I wore my coat (I wore my coat) with golden lining, Bright colours shining, wonderful and new

Far far away, someone was weeping, But the world was sleeping - Any dream will do

And in the east (And in the east) the dawn was breaking, And the world was waking - Any dream will do

A crash of drums, a flash of light, My golden coat flew out of sight

Colours faded into darkness I was left alone

May I return, (May I return) to the beginning, The light is dimming and the dream is too

The world and I, (The world and I) we are still waiting, Still hesitating - Any dream will do
