Verse 1

I close my eyes, threw 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

Verse 2

I wore my coat (I wore my coat) with golden lining

Bright colours shining, wonderful and new

And in the east (And in the east) the dawn was breaking

And the world was waking

Any dream will do

Chorus

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat flew out of sight

Colours faded into darkness

I was left alone

Verse 3

May I return, (May I return) to the beginning

The light is dimming and the dream is to

The world and I, (The world and I) we are still waiting

Still hesitating, Any dream will do

Verse 4

(Instrumental Verse – same as other verses)

Chorus

A crash of drums, a flash of light

My golden coat flew out of sight

Colours faded into darkness

I was left alone

Verse 5

May I return, (May I return) to the beginning

The light is dimming and the dream is to

The world and I, (The world and I) we are still waiting

Still hesitating, Any dream will do
