about

A song based on my experiences of living in London.

lyrics

Docklands Dreamer
(Lyrics and music: Tim Hunter)


I’m a Docklands Dreamer
I came down to London Town to seek fortune and fame
I’m a Docklands Dreamer
I’m a Docklands Dreamer

Started to wonder if this is my kind of place
Wondering if maybe I need more space
Don’t like being crammed in like sardines
Only seeing concrete and nothing green

Now I know the streets ain’t paved with gold
Maybe I should go, maybe it’s oversold

I’m a Docklands Dreamer
I came down to London Town to seek fortune and fame
I’m a Docklands Dreamer
I came down to London Town to seek fortune and fame
And to make my name
I’m a Docklands Dreamer
I’m a Docklands Dreamer

Taken my guitar around the open mics in town
And I’ve decided to be homeward bound
Think I have to find some fresh air
In The Smoke I can’t find that anywhere

Now I know the streets ain’t paved with gold
Think I have to go
It is oversold

Been commuting back and forth
But this time I’m gonna stay in the north
Another lesson learnt – my bridges burnt

Yes I was a Docklands Dreamer
I came down to London Town to seek fortune and fame
Guess I was a Docklands Dreamer
I came down to London Town to seek fortune and fame

I was a Docklands Dreamer
