American Tune - Paul Simon

Many's the time I've been mistaken and many times confused

Yes and I've often felt forsaken and certainly misused

Aw, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones

Still you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant

So far away from home, so far away from home

And I don't know a soul who's not been battered

I don't have a friend that's feels at ease

I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to it's knees

Aw, but it's alright, it's alright for we lived so well so long

Still when I think of the road we're travelin' on

I wonder what's gone wrong, I can't help but wonder what's gone wrong

And I dreamed I was dying...

I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down on me smiled reassuringly

And I dreamed I was flying....

For we come on the ship they call Mayflower

We come on the ship that sailed the moon

We come in the ages most uncertain hours and sing an American Tune

Aw, but it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed

Still tomorrow's gonna be another working day

And I'm trying to get some rest, that's all I'm trying to get some rest

And I dreamed I was flying....

And high up above my eyes could clearly see

The Statue of Liberty - sailing away to sea

And I dreamed I was flying....
