Again I'm squinting My demons are back and they're so convincing The world could end if I don't keep up my pace And you're so patient You're always open but never vacant You clear a path so I can feel the space Like a light through the black Like a strong hand on my back Like a cool river flows Like a break against the cold Like the value of gold Eldorado Eldorado Eldorado It's kinda silly How something as big as New York City Can be invisible when you're staring at your feet And it's kinda scary How much you mean and yet how rarely I say I love you when we speak Like a light through the black Like a strong hand on my back Like a cool river flows Like a break against the cold Like the value of gold Eldorado Eldorado And proud in my face to carry a trace of you Your song in my voice And more than a name you have given me a frame on which to Build any house of my choice Like a light through the black Like a strong hand Like a cool river flows Like a break against the cold Like the value of gold Like a light through the black Like a strong hand Like a cool river flows Like a break against the cold Like the value of gold Eldorado Eldorado Eldorado It's kinda scary How much you mean and yet how rarely I say I love you when we speak
