Dead Can Dance - American DreamingLyrics

I need my conscience to keep 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 land We've been too long American dreaming And I think we all lost the way Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark I'm in love with an American girl Though she's my best friend I love her surreptitious smile That hides the feelings within her And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter And live along by the shores Fervor on with her arms around she reside alone for the lost Faith, underneath the rising wind blows Faith, underneath the rising wind blows How long how long? Here alone on the grounds are millions seeds we left behind Turned back by the fool of the doorway of Never lost and found We've been too long American dreaming I think we've lost: lost the door Fear on somnambulistic maniacal in the dark Faith, underneath the rising wind blows Faith, underneath the rising wind blows How long how long?
