American Hearts

(dominic bugatti, frank musker)



They were married in september back in 1969

They traveled east to india to find some peace of mind

They stood for love and freedom

They were children of their time, wo wo

They lived in a world that was cold and uncaring

They swore they would change it with love and sharing

They never lived like their parents had done

Their innocence shone like the sun



(chorus)

American hearts, so filled with emotion

American hearts, so easily broken





Now they've got a family and a cottage in the hills

He's always working late to pay the mortgage and the bills

And she has trouble sleeping so the doctor gives her pills, wo wo

Who are these strangers who used to be lovers?

Now they've got nothing to say to each other

Too far apart to discuss their mistakes

They fought with divorce and it breaks their





(chorus)

Now that it's over, they each go on living

Never forgetting but somehow forgiving

They'll care for their children

Protect them with pride

And that's how the dream will survive in

(repeat chorus)
