Testo America

In the fading light, she stumbles and falls
Too tired to cry, too proud to call
In a movie scene, played over again
Might as well just pretend

Dream of America
At least anywhere but here
Singing your freedom song When there's no-one to hear
You're leaving some day
And you'll put on your black beret

Strangers pass you by, alone in your room
Don't need no-one, you're leaving soon
Turning out the light, case in the hall
Waiting for you to make the call
Just look to the west-side
With a whispered prayer, the saints don't reply
Might as well close your eyes

Dream of America
At least anywhere but here
Singing your freedom song When there's no-one to hear
You're leaving some day
And you'll put on your black beret

Dream of America
At least anywhere but here
Singing your freedom song
When there's no-one to hear
You're leaving some day
And you'll laugh at the words they say...

Slipping away...
And do you feel better now ?
Do you feel better now ?
You're leaving someday soon...
