About America

She came down from the hills in the dead of night

Silver jewellery flashing in the half moonlight

Hair across her face

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
