I had my hopes as we all had hopes For what I'd be and what I'd do But as my youth soon bloomed and faded So all my dreams they vanished too
CHORUS I never found my Eldorado I never walked down silver sands I never saw those gold pagodas Nor held a sunrise in my hand But I just dreamed and dreamed a dream I just dreamed and dreamed a dream
I was just a kid just a scruffy kid But I held the world in my grubby hands But then the world just turned to water Ran through my fingers into the sand
The terraced streets were my playground canyons The shipyard cranes were my redwood trees The steel yard tips were my mountain ranges And the brick yard ponds were my seven seas
The public bar was full of sailors They laughed and sang and told their tales But I just felt as black as coal Put down my glass and walked away.
