[Verse 1]
Don't cry, don't sigh, it's just a little
Stone's throw from home, where you belong
And a little time, just a little time might be alright
You can't start over again, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus 1]
This is where my sun comes up now
This is my moon rises
All the streets are made of gold
And I can see my future shinin'
Is it El Dorado?

[Verse 2]
It's another cold day, another cold day all alone
In the city, yeah you wanna go home, you can never go home
Even if you're willing
And a little time, just a little time might be alright
You can't start over again, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus 2]
This is where my sun comes up now
This is my moon rises
All the streets are made of gold
And I can see my future shinin'
But is it El Dorado?
[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 3]
You came too far to end with nothing
So you better walk on, yeah, you better walk on
Like nothing's wrong
No, you'll never give in, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Chorus 3]
Just another face in the crowd
Comin' up for air before I drown
Listen to the sirens wail
I can't seem to get the scream out loud
Is it El Dorado?
But is it El Dorado?
