Dead Can Dance - American Dreaming
Click to view
I need my conscience to keep watch over me To protect me from myself So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head When I walk into the promised land We've been too long American dreaming And I think we've all lost the way Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark I'm in love with an American girl Though she's my best friend I love her surreptitious smile That hides the pain within her And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter And live along by the shores ??? Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows How long how long? ??? in the grounds of ??? we've left behind Turned back by the foot of the doorway Never lost and found We've been too long American dreaming I think we've all lost the heart ??? somnambulistic maniacal in the dark Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows How long how long?
love it!
Brilliant Stuff. Lisa has a truely amazing voice!
