AMERICAN TUNE
  (words by Paul Simon  music by JS Bach)
Many's the time I've been mistaken, and many
times confused
And I've often felt forsaken, and certainly
misused.
But it's all right, it's all right, 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
Don't know a dream that's not been shattered
Or driven to its knees.
But it's all right, all right, We've lived so
well so long
Still, when I think of the road we're traveling
on,
I wonder what went wrong, I can't help it
I wonder what went wrong.
      And I dreamed I was flying. I dreamed my
soul rose
      unexpectedly, and looking back down on me,
smiled
      reassuringly, and I dreamed I was dying.
      And far above, my eyes could clearly see
      The Statue of Liberty, drifting away to sea
      And I dreamed I was flying.
We come on a ship we call the Mayflower,
We come on a ship that sailed the moon
We come at the age's most uncertain hour
And sing the American tune
But it's all right, its all right
You can't be forever blessed
Still, tomorrow's gonna be another working day
And I'm trying to get some rest,
That's all, I'm trying to get some rest.
