Dead Can Dance - American Dreaming Lyrics
I need my conscience to keep watch over meTo protect me from myselfSo I can wear honesty like a crown on my headWhen I walk into the promised landWeve been too long american dreamingAnd I think weve all lost the wayForlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the darkIm in love with an american girlThough shes my best friendI love her surreptitious smileThat hides the pain within herAnd well go dancing in the rings of laughterAnd live along by the shores? ? ?Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blowsFay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blowsHow long how long?? ? ? in the grounds of ? ? ? weve left behindTurned back by the foot of the doorwayNever lost and foundWeve been too long american dreamingI think weve all lost the heart? ? ? somnambulistic maniacal in the darkYeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blowsFay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blowsHow long how long?
