THE IDLE RACE, Lyrics:
Sea of dreams.

Little girl in the sea of dreams
There's a smile on her little face
She looked around she could see no peace
Her heart was sad and her body weak
Dum, dum, dooby-dum dum dum (repeat)

But in her dream she was big and strong
She fell in love with a sailor
He travelled far off to distant lands
He never travelled to see her

Dum, dum, dooby-dum dum dum

Then one night a strange man did come
He whispered words unto her mother
Little girl in the sea of dreams
She closed her eyes and met her maker

 

Jeff Lynne

From the 1969 LP, Idle Race.
