American Tune

Many is the time I’ve been mistaken And many times confused Many is the time I’ve been forsaken And certainly abused But it’s all right it’s all right You can't be for ever blessed And when I think of another working day I’ve just got to get some rest I’ve got to get some rest I don’t know a soul who’s not been battered Don’t have a friend who feels at ease Don’t know a dream that’s not been shattered Or driven to its knees Oh but it’s all right it’s all right We’ve lived so well so long And when I think of the road We’ve travelled on So far away from home So far away from home And I dreamed I was dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly And looking back down on me Smiled reassuringly And I dreamed I was flying And high above all my eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty Sailing away to sea And I dreamed I was flying We come on the ship they called the Mayflower We come on the ship that sailed the moon We come in the ages’ most uncertain hour And we sing an American tune Oh but it’s all right it’s all right You can't be for ever blessed And when I think of another working day I’ve just got to get some rest I’ve got to get some rest --- American Tune - Eva Cassidy
