America

Ain't it foggy outside
All the planes have been grounded
Ain't the fire inside?
Let's all go stand around it
Funny, i've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

'cause i understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

Ain't the years gone by fast
I suppose you have missed them
Oh, i almost forgot to ask
Did you hear of my enlistment?

Funny, i've been there
And you've been here
And we ain't had no time to drink that beer

'cause i understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

I understand you've been running from the man
That goes by the name of the sandman
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye
Of a hurricane that's abandoned

Found on america.

I never found the time
To see things quite through
I never found the time
To give them to you

If living don't come easy
Don't stop your own voice
'cause the worst part of living
Is havin' no choice

Tell me a story
Tell it with your eyes
I'm gonna stop believin'
If i hear another lie
Drink some cold water
Your mouth's getting dry

If i only had the time
To see things right through
I'd give up all my treasures
And send them to you

Then livin' would seem easy
No lights and no noise
Just me and my lady
And the echo of her voice

Tell me a story
Tell it with your eyes
I'm gonna stop believin'
If i hear another lie
Drink some cold water
Your mouth's getting dry

I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories don't die
But with time become hazy

I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories don't die
But with time become hazy

I never found the time
To see into my lady
And memories don't die
But with time become hazy

I never found the time ...

Found on america and america's gold.

Ah, get behind me satan
Quit ravishing the land
Does it take the children
To make you understand?

Ah, all across the nation
People don't understand
Does it take the children
To make a better land?

Then, get behind me satan
Quit ravishing the land

Does it take the children
To make you understand?
Does it take the children
To make a better land?

Found on america.

Well, i had me a pigeon
By the name of fred
But i done shot him
In the head

Had me a railroad
Down on the ridge
But i done blowed up
The bridge

Had me a dog
He was my best friend
But to him
I done put an end

Had me a farm
Sittin' pretty on the hill
But if you look
You'll see it ain't there still

I don't know why i done it
Honest, it ain't like me
But i ain't sad now i done it
'cause a baby boy has got to be free

Found on america.

Clarice lay down your mind, it's there just hard to find
Follow me as we wind our way, away

Behind an open door there lies a million more
Follow me as we wind our way, away

Time is coming soon i'll find you (time is coming soon i'll find you)
Time is coming soon i'll find you (time is coming soon i'll find you)
Time is coming soon, time is coming soon

Behind an open door there lies a million more
Follow me as we wind our way, away

Time is coming soon i'll find you (time is coming soon i'll find you)
Time is coming soon i'll find you (time is coming soon i'll find you)
Time is coming soon, time is coming soon

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing i met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see i've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days i let the horse run free
'cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see i've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...
