American Dreaming Lyrics by Dead Can Dance

American Dreaming Lyrics

    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've 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 pain within her

    And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter
    And live along by the shores
    ???

    Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
    Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
    How long how long?

    ??? in the grounds of ??? we've left behind
    Turned back by the foot of the doorway
    Never lost and found

    We've been too long american dreaming
    I think we've all lost the heart
    ??? somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

    Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
    Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
    How long how long?
