When  I come in my dreams  to a house  I’ve never seen before,
 I have a tendency  to look  for the exit door.
 Cause I never  know it may be  that house  again,
 I never know, I  never know.
 When I come in my mind to a stream that's running gently,
 I have a tendency to run like a frightened deer.
 Cause I never know it may take me to that ocean again,
 I never know, I never know.
I  usually stay away from being  carried away,
But  one day I saw a silver horse.
 I though he might take  me to that somewhere  high,
 I thought he might take  me to that deep  blue sky.
 Then I came  to realize  that the horse  had no wings.
 "No wings, well, it wasn't so bad, you know."
I  learnt to travel the world  around
 And run  on the ground in the springtime
 And that's the story  of a wandering  soul,
 That's the story  of a dreamer.

[C]When I come in my d[G]reams to a h[F]ouse I’ve never seen bef[C]ore,
I have a [Am]tendency to [Em7]look for the exit [F]door.[Fm]
Cause I [C]never know it may b[G]e that ho[Am]use aga[F]in,
I never [C]know, [F]I never [C]know.

When I come in my mind to a stream that's running gently,
I have a tendency to run like a frightened deer.
Cause I never know it may take me to that ocean again,
I never know, I never know.

[F]I usually stay away from [Em]being carried away,
[F]But one day I saw a silver [Em]horse.
I though he might [C]take me to that [Am]somewhere high,
I thought he might [C]take me to that [G]deep blue [C]sky.  [Fm]      [C]         [Fm]             [C]                [Fm]

Then I [C]came to rea[G]lize that the [Am]horse had no [Fm]wings.
"No wings, well, it wasn't so bad, you know."

[F]I learnt to travel the [Am]world around
And [F]run on the ground in the s[Am]pringtime
And that's the [F]story of a w[Am]andering soul,
That's the [F]story of a [G]drea[C]mer.
