Imagining America Lyrics


Oh, and how he loved you
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
Could make it a real thing
Could make it a real thingOn a clear day
You can see the sea from your place
On a fine day
You can still remember his faceHe just kept right on
Imagining America
He just kept right on
Imagining AmericaAnd 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 youIt was a clear day
Waiting from the quay, saw him
Was a fine day
Standing with the world before himHe just kept right on
Imagining America
He just kept right on
Imagining AmericaDon'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 carsSo 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 faceAnd I just kept right on
Imagining America
And I just kept right on
Imagining AmericaWe keep on, we keep
Imagining America, America
