About America

She came down from the hills in the dead of night Silver jewellery flashing in the half moonlight Hair across her face, and all that she could taste Were her tears as they dried There she found her love, he was gone for good Heaven out of reach now she understood In all the human race no one could replace All the fears in her eyes So I sang that song for her about America The one we use to sing, dreaming we were there And all the words were lost, they were lost on her Even though she knew it would never last She looked into the future and she saw the past Green eyes of the child, similarly wild As the years passed her by So I sang that song for her about America The one we use to sing dreaming we were there And all the words were lost, they were lost on her Lost on her, they were lost, they were lost Lost on her, they were lost, they were lost Lost on her Following her footsteps to the place they met Carving out his name, never to forget Now their child sings, as memories begin To disappear from her mind So I sang that song for her about America The one we use to sing dreaming we were there And all the words were lost, they were lost on her Lost on her, they were lost, they were lost Lost on her, they were lost, they were lost Lost on her
