The tenth and final track of Duffy’s debut studio album, Rockferry, released on 3 March 2008, “Distant Dreamer” is a rather hopeful send-off to the album, with Duffy proclaiming her hope to continue holding onto her ambitions and dreams, no matter how distant they may seem.
The song was featured as...
[Verse 1]
Although you think I cope
My head is filled with hope
Of some place other than here
Although you think I smile
Inside and all the while
I'm wondering about my destiny
[Chorus]
I'm thinking about all the things
I'd like to do in my life
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
[Verse 2]
Even when you see me frown
My heart won't let me down
Because I know there's better things to come, whoa yeah
And when life gets tough
And I feel I've had enough
I hold on to a distant star
[Chorus]
I'm thinking about all the things
I'd like to do in my life
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
Yeah, I'm a dreamer
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Outro]
I'm a dreamer, a distant dreamer
Dreaming far away from today
Yeah, I'm a dreamer
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm a dreamer
