American Tune lyrics
by Paul Simon
AMERICAN TUNE (words by Paul Simon music by JS Bach)Many's the time I've been mistaken, and many times confusedAnd I've often felt forsaken, and certainly misused.But it's all right, it's all right, I'm just weary to my bonesStill, you don't expect to be bright and Bon VivantSo far away from home, so far away from home.I don't know a soul who's not been batteredDon't have a friend who feels at easeDon't know a dream that's not been shatteredOr driven to its knees.But it's all right, all right, We've lived so well so longStill, when I think of the road we're traveling on,I wonder what went wrong, I can't help itI wonder what went wrong. And I dreamed I was flying. I dreamed my soul rose unexpectedly, and looking back down on me, smiled reassuringly, and I dreamed I was dying. And far above, my eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty, drifting away to sea And I dreamed I was flying.We come on a ship we call the Mayflower,We come on a ship that sailed the moonWe come at the age's most uncertain hourAnd sing the American tuneBut it's all right, its all rightYou can't be forever blessedStill, tomorrow's gonna be another working dayAnd I'm trying to get some rest,That's all, I'm trying to get some rest.filename[ AMERTUNESS===DOCUMENT BOUNDARY===
