Imagining America

Oh, and how he loved you
(Oh, and you believed him)
Oh, and you believed him
(You said you both deserve better)
You both deserve better)
(He could make it a real thing)
Could make it a real thing
On a clear day
You can see the sea from your place
On a fine day
You can still remember his face
He just kept right on…
Imagining America
He just kept right on…
Imagining America
(And he was so handsome)
He was so handsome
(It was 1919)
It was 1919
(Sailing to New York)
Sailing to New York
(Just for you)
Just for you
It was a clear day
Waiting from the quay, saw him
Was a fine day
Standing with the world before him
He just kept right on…
Imagining America
He just kept right on…
Imagining America
Don’t he have no feelings…
Always feel like mountains
And deserts and stars
Cities have been tamed
And they all know your name
They have money
And houses and cars
So I stand here
So I stand here
In his footsteps
In his footsteps
We deserve better
We deserve better
And I can make it a real thing
And I can make it a real thing
It’s a clear day
It’s a clear day
Only in a final embrace
Only in a final embrace
It’s a fine day
It’s a fine day
The world remember our face…
The world remember our face…
And I just kept right on…
Imagining America
And I just kept right on…
Imagining America
We keep on, we keep
Imagining America, America
