Live performance
Well, I dreamed I was a gypsy riding the land
With a tambourine and a gypsy queen
And a rainbow caravan
Happy old land sailor, yeah, that`s what I want to be
Stealing diamonds from the rich men to throw in the sea
Singing look toward the land
`cause the land holds the key
Keep an eye on the land
And an eye on man
Well, I dreamed I was a cabin boy
On an American Clipper line
Watering flowers for the captain
That they may not wilt
Bringing cargo to colonies of South Caroline
On the best ol` Clipper Dave McKay ever built
Singing look toward the land
`cause the land is the key
Singing keep an eye on the land
And an eye on the sea
Well, I dreamed I was your lover
`Cause that`s what I want to be
And I dreamed that every night you dreamed only of me
And we walked along the beach, and ooh, we held hands
And I told you you were my only woman
And I was your only man
Singing look toward the lovers
For they are the key
Keep an eye on the lovers
And an eye on the war machine
Yes I dreamed I was a captain of a river queen
Caressing Mississippi waters down to New Orleans
Yeah, a happy ol` riverboat captain, that`s what I`d like to be
And I`d let you ride my honey, I`d let you ride her for free
Singing look toward the river
`Cause the river`s the key
Keep an eye on the river
And an eye on the sea
Well, I dreamed I was your friend
`Cause that`s what I want to be
And every night, you had dreams
And they were all of me
We`d walk all the streets together
Hand in hand
And be kind to the women
And the women be kind to the me
