City Of Dreams

A glittering palace, streets paved with gold,

No pain, no sorrow, no tears.

No lies, no stories left untold

They said I would find it all here.

A house, a home, a four poster bed,

A garden with flowers and streams.

If only it was just like they said

Here in the City of Dreams.

IS THIS THE PLACE I CAME TO FIND

IS THIS THE CITY OF DREAMS

MUST I BRAVE ANOTHER NIGHT

HERE IN THE CITY OF DREAMS

So this is my new home, the City of Dreams

Where the seekers of fortune abide.

Where the winners in life have taken the dreams

And the seekers never find.

So this is my new home, a dirty back street

And a bed of stone beneath the sky,

With a thousand stars looking down on me

Like a thousand mocking eyes.

IS THIS THE PLACE I CAME TO FIND

IS THIS THE CITY OF DREAMS

MUST I BRAVE ANOTHER NIGHT

ON THE STREETS OF THE CITY OF DREAMS

I close my eyes and drift to a land

Where you now stand before me.

You're the only dream I've held in my hand,

You're the dream I left behind me.

Why did I leave you for this crumbling town,

After all the tears you cried?

In my dream you stand before me now,

Embracing my soul in your eyes.

IS THIS THE PLACE I CAME TO FIND

IS THIS THE CITY OF DREAMS

MUST I BRAVE ANOTHER NIGHT

IN THE CITY OF BROKEN DREAMS
