Simon & Garfunkel - American Tune Lyrics

Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused
Yes, and I've often felt forsaken
And certainly misused

Oh, but I'm alright, I'm alright, I'm just weary to my bones
Still, you don't expect to be bright and bon vivant
So far away from home, so far away from home

I don't know a soul who's not been battered
Don't have a friend who feels at ease
I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to it's knees

Aah, but we're alright, we're alright, we lived so well an' so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on
I wonder what's gone wrong, can't help but wonder what's gone wrong

And I dreamed I was dyin'
I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly

And looking back down at me
Smiled reassuringly

I dreamed I was flying
High up above my eyes could clearly see
The statue of liberty sailin' away to sea
And I dreamed I was flying

We come on the ship they call 'The Mayflower'
We come on the ship that sailed the moon
We come in the age's most uncertain hour
And sing an American tune

Oh, and it's alright, it's alright, it's alright you can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's gotta be another working day
And I'm tryin' to get some rest, that's all I'm tryin' to get some rest
