Lyrics

[00:00.00] D.C.D - American Dreaming
[00:27.77]
[00:29.77] I need my conscience to keep watch over me
[00:35.11] To protect me from myself
[00:40.51] So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
[00:45.39] When I walk into the promised land
[00:49.76]
[00:51.83] We've been too long American dreaming
[00:56.54] And I think we've all lost the way
[01:02.39] Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
[01:11.37]
[01:13.29] I'm in love with an American girl
[01:18.43] Though she's my best friend
[01:24.03] I love her surreptitious smile
[01:28.46] That hides the pain within her
[01:32.87]
[01:34.53] And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter
[01:39.39] And live along by the shores
[01:44.75] ???
[01:54.73]
[03:18.52][01:55.55] Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
[03:28.71][02:05.89] Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
[03:36.69][02:14.05] How long how long?
[02:16.40]
[02:37.48] ??? in the grounds of ??? we've left behind
[02:47.93] Turned back by the foot of the doorway
[02:52.46] Never lost and found
[02:56.14]
[02:58.27] We've been too long American dreaming
[03:02.98] I think we've all lost the heart
[03:08.67] Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
[03:39.10]
[04:04.42]
[04:25.31] END
