Lyrics Nana Mouskouri

Nana Mouskouri

After The Gold Rush

Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour coming

Sayin' something about a queen

There were passants singin' and drummers drummin'

And the archer split the tree

There's a fanfare blowin' to the sun

That was floating on the breeze

Look at Mother Nature on the run in the nineteen seventies

I was lyin' in a burned out basement

With the full moon in my eyes

I was hopin' for replacement

When the sun burst through the sky

There was a band playin' in my head

And I felt like getting high

Thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie

Well, I dreamed I saw the silver spaceships flyin'

In the yellow haze of the sun

There were children cryin' and colours flyin'

All around the chosen ones

All in a dream, all in a dream the loading had begun

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun

Flying Mother Nature's silver seed to a new home in the sun
