lyrics

Caravan perched on the side of the hill
Up above town all around is quiet and still, so still, so still
He was shaping clay dragons in the candlelight
Rain on the windowpane, well it’s alright

When summertime comes he’ll soak in sunlight
And run around the fire outside all night
Coz nobody hears, nobody cares
He’s free as the birds with whom his bread he shares

Dream on, dreamer, you’ve found a place to dream
Dream away the clocks and tel’phone ring
Dream on, dreamer, money won’t buy your things
This world is yours, and here you are as king

Lying in the bath on the heathery green
The view from here's the best you’ve ever seen
Tiny little voices on the radio
Come from a world so far and long ago
For this common land’s just a place to be
It’s a home for him, a sanctuary for me

Dream on, dreamer, you’ve found a place to dream
Dream away the clocks and tel’phone ring
Dream on, dreamer, money won’t buy your things
This world is yours, and here you are as king

Caravan perched on the side of the hill
Up above town all around is quiet and still, so still, so still
Coz nobody hears, nobody cares
He’s as free as the birds with whom his bread he shares
