I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming Dreaming is free Dreaming, dreaming is free I, gonna dream, dream Of how (repeat) Dreaming, dreaming is free Dreaming, dreaming is free I don't want to live on charity Pleasure's real or is it fantasy? Real to real is living rarity People stop and stare at me we just walk on by We just keep on dreaming Dreaming is free Dreaming, dreaming is free (Dreaming, dreaming) I sit by and watch the river flow I sit by and watch the traffic go Imagine something of your very own Something you can have and hold I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming Dreaming is free Dreaming, dreaming is free Dreaming, dreaming is free Dreaming, dreaming is free Dreaming, dreaming is free
