I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land

We've been too long american dreaming
And I think we've all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

I'm in love with an american girl
Though she's my best friend
I love her surreptitious smile
That hides the pain within her

And we'll go dancing in the rings of laughter
And live along by the shores
? ? ?

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long how long?

? ? ? in the grounds of ? ? ? we've left behind
Turned back by the foot of the doorway
Never lost and found

We've been too long american dreaming
I think we've all lost the heart
? ? ? somnambulistic maniacal in the dark

Yeah-ee, on the lea the rising wind blows
Fay-hee, on the lea the rising wind blows
How long how long?
