A spoken verse to open the “Eldorado” album, performed by Peter Forbes-Robertson, which leads into an orchestral “theme” which turns up again at the end of the a-side and at the beginning of the last song “Eldorado Finale”, which repeats the first and last lines of the poem
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse]
The Dreamer, the unwoken fool
In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow
The love of ages fills the head
The days that linger there in prey of emptiness
Of burned-out dreams
The minutes calling through the years
The Universal Dreamer rises up above his earthly burden
Journey to the dead of night
High on a hill in Eldorado
[Instrumental Outro/Segue]
