 Intro – ( ) x2

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
