Dreamland

Coney Hatch


I was borne by a western wind
To a place I'd never been
Thought I was inside a dream
'Cause nothing was what it seemed

I climbed atop a mountain
Called up to the sky
I said I am a free man
And if you want me don't even try

Oh, dreamland, dreamland is where I want to be
Dreamland, dreamland, it was so real to me

Then I was flying across the ocean
Watched the ships at sea
Crossing over waves and commotion
That's how I want to be

I climbed the cliffs at Dover
Walked the streets of Rome
I rolled in fields of irish clover
And then the wind blew me back home

Oh, dreamland, dreamland is where I want to be
Dreamland, dreamland, it was so real to me

(Solo)

Now there's a girl I used to know
Thought it was over long ago
But now I'm pounding on her door
She says come in and love me some more

I walked into the bedroom
Her kiss I could not believe
Somewhere I heard an alarm bell ring
I did not want to leave

Oh, dreamland, dreamland is where I want to be
Dreamland, dreamland, it was so real to me
Oh dreamland, dreamland I live my fantasy
Dreamland, dreamland it was so real to me
