El Dorado

Verse 1

Green canopy leans

Dripping with the secrets of the ancient kings

Mist rising slow

Underneath the wings of the condor soaring high above the steep ravine

Wet stones

Darkened by the rushing water as it flows through the mountain pass

Sweet scent of cedar filling up the air

She is waiting where the sunlight breaks the canopy in half

Chorus

She is the light in the deepest glade

Calling my name from the emerald shade

A golden fever I cannot hold

Greater than the legends ever told

Far across the El Dorado plains

Falling like the summer rains

I see her face

I see her face

Post-Chorus

Oh oh

Aha-ha

Verse 2

Flutes cry

I hear the hollow bamboo calling through the trees

Soft wooden breath

Carrying the prayer of a thousand years across the lonely canyon floor

Indigo sky

Falling on the shoulders of the seeker as he walks toward the edge

Chorus

She is the light in the deepest glade

Calling my name from the emerald shade

A golden fever I cannot hold

Greater than the legends ever told

Far across the El Dorado plains

Falling like the summer rains

I see her face

I see her face

bridge

Was it all just a fever dream

A shimmering light upon the stream

I will keep walking till the end

Search round every river bend

Find the place where she resides

Uncover the secrets hidden deep inside

pre-chorus

El Dorado

(Find the way back home)

El Dorado

(Where the rivers flow like gold)

Greater than legends ever told

I am lost in a gold fever dream

Chorus

She is the light in the deepest glade

Calling my name from the emerald shade

A golden fever I cannot hold

Greater than the legends ever told

Far across the El Dorado plains

Falling like the summer rains

I see her face

post-chorus

(I see her face)

Way up in the indigo sky

(I see her face)

high up where the condor flies

yeah-eh

I see her face
