Letra de Alone / American Dreaming (Live at the ICA)
Ever loved a woman Who made you feel tall? Ever loved a man Who made you feel small?If you were a sailor I'd raise the anchor To sail the sea In search of you and meAnd God conjures currents To break our fragile boats And both the innocent and the damned Are swallowed up in his wakeIf you were a huntress I'd be your bow For your silver arrows To seek out his heartEver loved a woman Who made you feel tall? Ever loved a man Who made you feel small?Who are you to complain For lack of understanding? We are all created equal In just one thing aloneAlone in your thoughts That consume you through your life They'll take you outwards To the dark edge of timeAnd there's nothing more dangerous Than a man with nothing to lose Nothing to live for And nothing to proveI need my conscience to watch over me To protect me from myself So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head When I walk into the Promised LandWe've been too long American dreaming I think we've all lost the way Fear lined somnambulistic maniacal in the darkI'm in love with an American girl Though she's my best friend I love her surreptitious smile That hides the pain within herAnd I leave on the sounds of bees And the night walk in the past So lies somnambulistic maniacal in the darkYay, on the leas the rising wind blows Fades on the leas the rising wind blows How long, how long?Fear along in the sounds of legion A man for myself Chaining loud on the back of a door In the sands of sound 'til the moorWe've been too long American dreaming I think we've lost the heart Fear lined somnambulistic maniacal in the darkYay, on the leas the rising wind blows Fade lines on the bee, those lea blow How long, how long?
