Eat Neuk Misfortune

I chased a dream all day

Watching it fly in the air

I chased it clean away

And I can't find it anywhere

I never saw one familiar face

And I'm wondering just what's wrong with this place

I wandered into the east

On early closing day

Looking for the ones

Who decided that they would stay

All of my friends should be here soon

But I'm tired of travelling

And my piano's out of tune

I don't know why I'm here

Or what I expect to find

Maybe I'm looking for something

That I might have left behind

I chased a dream all day

Watching it fly in the air

I chased it clean away

And I can't find it anywhere

I never saw one familiar face

And I'm wondering just what's wrong with this place

Standing on the main road

Taking the view of the bay

Watching where the river flows

And the sea takes it away

Watching the fisherman casting his line

And the paper mill men working out their time

I think I'll have to go and write her a letter

Or maybe I'll telephone

Although yesterday would have been a whole lot better

I chased a dream all day

Watching it fly in the air

I chased it clean away

I've been looking for it everywhere

All of my friends should be here soon

But I'm tired of travelling

And my piano's out of tune
