Lyrics

[00:03.58] D.C.D - American Dreaming
[00:30.36] I need my conscience to keep watch over me
[00:34.48]
[00:35.67] To protect me from myself
[00:39.05]
[00:41.11] So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
[00:45.36]
[00:45.98] When I walk into the promised land
[00:50.17]
[00:52.48] We've been too long American dreaming
[00:57.29] And I think we've all lost the way
[01:01.36]
[01:03.05] Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
[01:11.98]
[01:14.04] I'm in love with an American girl
[01:17.79]
[01:19.17] Though she's my best friend
[01:22.42]
[01:24.48] I love her surreptitious smile
[01:28.67]
[01:29.29] That hides the pain within her
[01:33.23]
[01:35.36] And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter
[01:40.11] And live along by the shores
[01:44.60]
[01:44.68]
[01:56.43] Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
[02:04.18]
[02:06.88] Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
[02:13.82]
[02:15.07] How long how long?
[02:16.38]
[02:38.69] ??? in the grounds of we've left behind
[02:46.38]
[02:49.06] Turned back by the foot of the doorway
[02:53.88] Never lost and found
[02:57.13]
[02:59.44] We've been too long American dreaming
[03:03.32] I think we've all lost the heart
[03:08.13]
[03:09.88] Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
[03:18.50]
[03:19.81] Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
[03:26.63]
[03:29.44] Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
[03:37.33]
[03:38.15] How long how long?
[03:41.15] END
