lyrics

In working hours, it's true they own me
For fourteen hours, do as I'm told
But when that bell goes, I am a free man
I'm through the door for to get me home

Because they don't own dreams and don't own my thoughts
I can always wander freely
Because in dreams, I am still a young man
And in dreams I do all I want

CHORUS:
When these boots come off, and I'll sit by the fire
Close my eyes and dream - of the day I'll retire
When these boots come off, I'll be dreaming of the life that we will have
When we, grow old, together

For thirty years, I have toiled and grafted
To feed my family, and keep them safe
But now here I am, I'm nearly fifty
My back is aching and my eyes have gone

But I still have dreams and still have my thoughts
They can never take them from me
Because in dreams, I am still a young man
And in dreams I can run and play

REPEAT CHORUS

And we'll dream of the day, when we're far and away
And we'll leave these city streets far behind us, for the coast
No more pit helmet for me, No more coal dust to breathe
and I'm starting to believe that it is close

REPEAT CHORUS
