ERIC CLAPTON lyrics - Pearly Queen

(Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi)



I had a strange dream from a pearly queen,

And she could drink more wine than I've ever seen.

She had some gypsy's blood flowing through her feet,

And when the time was right she said that I would meet

My destiny.



I traveled 'round the world to find the sun.

I couldn't stop myself from having fun,

But when the time was right, the flowers grew

But they were made of silk and sequins, two by two.



I traveled 'round the world to find the sun.

I couldn't stop myself from having fun.

But when the time was right, the flowers grew

But they were made of silk and sequins, I would meet

My destiny.
