AMERICAN TUNE
(words by Paul Simon music by JS Bach)
Many`s the time I`ve been mistaken, and many times confused
And I`ve often felt forsaken, and certainly misused.
But it`s all right, it`s all right, 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.
I don`t know a soul who`s not been battered
Don`t have a friend who feels at ease
Don`t know a dream that`s not been shattered
Or driven to its knees.
But it`s all right, all right, We`ve lived so well so long
Still, when I think of the road we`re traveling on,
I wonder what went wrong, I can`t help it
I 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 moon
We come at the age`s most uncertain hour
And sing the American tune
But it`s all right, its all right
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.
