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
