Eldorado [album Version] Lyrics - The Studio Albums: 1973-1977 - Electric Light Orchestra

Here it comes another lonely day. 

Playing the game, I'll sail away 

On a voyage of no return to see 

If eternal life is meant to be, 

And if I find the key, to the eternal dream. 

The painted ladies of the Avalon. 

Play in the sun, take to the road 

To the north there lies the chills of cold, 

To the south there lies, the tales 

untold, 

But in between their lies, the place 

to close your eyes. 

And I will stay, I'll not be back, 

Eldorado, 

I will be free, of the world 

Eldorado 

Say goodbye the city's heroes sing 

Bird on the wind, 

Feel, feel so free 

Through the life upon the rooftop 

haze, 

All the cheating and the broken days, 

So through it all I see, 

There's nothing left for me. 

And I will stay, I'll not be back, 

Eldorado, 

I will be free, of the world 

Eldorado 

Sitting here on top of everywhere, 

What do I care, 

Days never end. 

I know the voyage's end will soon 

be here, 

No eternal life is here for me, 

And now I found the key, 

To the eternal dream. 

Then I will stay, I'll not be back, 

Eldorado. 

I will be free, of the world, 

Eldorado
