El Dorado (PDF / MP3)

 

Come in from the rain, my lady,

There is no time for tears.

I will not cause you pain, no baby,

So put away your fears.

If love is gonna last,

There can be no looking back.

Time is tight, and we must be on our way.

 

Oh, El Dorado—

Oh, El Dorado—

We are leaving here tonight for El Dorado.

 

Rumors of heaven haunt the hearts of lovers.

Give the word and the search is on.

Take the straight and narrow road,

Forsaking all others;

Only sleep with your strength is gone.

'Cause the promises we've made

Are broken if the dream should fade.

Time is tight, and we must be on our way.

 

Oh, El Dorado—

Oh, El Dorado—

We are leaving here tonight for El Dorado.

 

When the traitors of the heart surround us,

We are allied by the touch.

Though the world may fall apart around us,

We won't vanish in the dust.

'Cause the search will make us strong!

Two lonely hearts will stand as one!

And in the end, love will save us all—

Love is all that matters.

 

Oh, El Dorado—

Oh, El Dorado—

We are leaving here tonight for El Dorado.
