Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Long ago a young man sits
And plays his waiting game
But things are not the same it seems
As in such tender dreams
[Verse 2]
Slowly passing sailing ships
And Sunday afternoon
Like people on the moon I see
Are things not meant to be?
[Verse 3]
Where do those golden rainbows end?
Why is this song so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
Loving the love I love to
Love Is just a word I've heard
When things are being said
[Verse 4]
Stories my poor head has told me
Cannot stand the cold
And in between what might have been
And what has come to pass
A misbegotten guess alas
And bits of broken glass
[Verse 5]
Where do your golden rainbows end?
Why is the song I sing so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
[Verse 6]
Loving the love I love to love
To love, to love
Whoa, no, no, no, now
